ATNY uses monologue study to introduce actors to staying truthful in the moment, and having a keen understanding as to what they need specifically from their scene partner. We get specific and teach the young actor how ‘not to act’ but live truthfully. It’s the first step before scene work, and incorporates personalizing moments.
- Emotional Range and Staying Truthful to the Moment
- Monologue w/Backstory and Conflict recognition
Concepts: Objective. The pursuit of objective. Intention. How your intention changes. Scene Partner. Meisner Technique. You don’t change. You allow your scene partner to change you. Transition. Silence. Focus. Observation. (We encourage improvisation incorporation).
Elevate your audition level by being comfortable with being truthful in front of the camera and making meaningful eye-contact. In this class, students learn to incorporate a sense of self, and let go of all things performance, and over-the-top theatrical and artificial mannerisms. Make the camera mark your comfort zone.
