Directors will be guided through coached rehearsals with actors, as we review the three most
important components to working with actors:
1) Creating
safety and emotional connection: Directors will work with specific exerices that help foster a relationship with
the actor, allowing for and maximizing emotional availability. Gain specific tools to leading an actor to feel safe, relaxed,
creative, cooperative, and emotionally open.
2) Achieving real-life
performances: Adopt specific techniques to eliminating acting that looks like acting and learn how to evoke performances
that look like authentic, real-life scenarios.
3)
Creating drama: Once your actors are being themselves, it's time to turn on the heat. Whether you're directing a
comedy or a tear-jerker, learn how to introduce drama and conflict to the scene.
