Acting from the Core with Kacie Stetson
Act with dynamic authenticity in this two-day workshop. You will learn how to approach a script and make it your own in a fun and creative environment.
We will emphasize how detrimental judgements are to creativity, and do exercises geared towards releasing those judgements.
You will learn how to personalize the text and will culminate in a shoot and screen. Kacie will send your work to you after the conclusion of the course.
Overview
On the first day the workshop would be divided into two sections. For the first 2 hours, I would work with students to become better acquainted with their emotions and to clarify their learning objectives. We would emphasize how detrimental judgements are to creativity, and do exercises geared towards releasing those judgements.
In the last 2 hours we would learn how to approach text and use parallel improvisation as a fun way to personalize the test without the burden of memorization. We would canvas scene intention and how important it is to have a very clear and specific goal to fight for in each scene.
The second day will center on techniques that enable students to personalize the text and would culminate in a shoot and screen.
