Weeks 1-2:  Each class begins with relaxation technique and then moves to a sequence of sensory exercises which train the actor’s concentration, ability to respond to imaginary objects, and organic expression. The relaxation exercise is done each week to ensure that the physical and mental tension within the body, which inhibits the actor, diminishes throughout the duration of the course. The sensory exercise starts with the actor’s ability to recreate objects which s/he encounters every day. The exercises become more complicated when additional objects of concentration are added and when the frequency with which the actor encounters the objects of concentration diminishes.
The second part of each acting class is devoted to improvisation & scene work, and/or monologues where students apply what they have learned in the exercise work to fulfill the demands of a play and the creation of a role.
