Acting classes - last chance!
Mon, 14 Feb 2005, 11:50 amHere’s your last chance to book – all classes start next Saturday (19th) and places are still available! – just drop me a line and I can send you all information.
Thinking of auditioning later for WAAPA or NIDA? Or are you a theatre novice who wants help and coaching. Or maybe you just want to brush up on your Shakespeare? We have the class for you!
Starting on February 19th The Method studio will be offering two seven-class drama courses, both taught by Stephen Lee:
METHOD ACTING
All the basics of Stanislavski’s “method” are covered in a series of simple practical exercises. An excellent class for both beginner and more experienced student. Also, since all work is non-text based, an extremely useful way to sharpen and improve your improvisational skills. Learn how easy it is to be both a better improviser and a better actor.
The course covers:
1 The use of Images
2 Units and Objectives
3 Emotion Memory
4 Obstacles
5 Focus
6 Layering
7 Playing character and comedy
Every Saturday 10.00 am till 1.00 pm February 19th – April 2nd at the Blue Room, James St. $220 for seven classes.
ACTING SHAKESPEARE
If you are terrified by the thought of playing Shakespeare, or love his work and would jump at the chance to improve your understanding of him: this is the class for you. Since most work in the course is based around studentsÂ’ playing of individual scenes, you are in full control of both the speed you work at and the level of difficulty you attempt. Stephen Lee has directed over twenty productions of Shakespeare plays, and taught at several London drama schools. He strips away a lot of the nonsense that is often built up around ShakespeareÂ’s work, and shows just how simple and easy it can be to understand and enjoy him..
The course covers:
1 The conventions of the Elizabethan / Jacobean stage
2 Verse speaking (FAR, FAR simpler than many would have you think)
3 ShakespeareÂ’s language
4 The Soliloquy
5 The Escalation of Energy (some actors work on the Bard for years and never learn this vital technique)
6 Use of Imagery
No actor should leave this facet of their skill untouched. ItÂ’s a bit like a soccer player who never plays in a World Cup. The man is a total joy to act, and hugely rewarding to work on. .
Stephen Lee has a vast experience of acting and directing in London for over twenty five years. He recently taught several very popular classes at the ITA Interact and adjudicated this yearÂ’s State DramaFest. He won Best Actor award at this yearÂ’s Finleys for playing Prospero in The Tempest at The New Fortune. He directed Othello for Class Act Theatre, and As You Like It for Attic Theatre Company which he co-founded. He will be seen in March playing Leontes in John MilsonÂ’s WinterÂ’s Tale at the New Fortune.
Every Saturday 2.00 pm till 5.00 pm February 19th – April 2nd at the Blue Room, James St. $220 for seven classes.
