Fairmount Center for the Arts 6622 Wilson Mills Rd. To register call 440-338-3171 Scene Study and Script Investigation - The DNA of Your Text (9th grade – Adult) Instructor: Brian Zoldessy Nine Sessions Saturdays, Starting January 12, 2008; 10:30am–12:30pm Fee: $150 Script: The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams - Copies Provided The DNA of a script is the basic building blocks of scene investigation. The discovery and identification of these separate elements will deepen the actor’s understanding to the material and heighten the ability to live “in-the-moment”. Moment to moment acting is indispensable and vital to the creation of moving and believable performances. The scene study and analysis will guide the performer to the organic communication of these moments, resulting in pure action; clear, economic, committed and comprehensive. This process and its principals can be applied to every monologue, scene, every separate act, and an entire play. Actor and Director scene investigation: • A step by step approach; investigation leads to doing rather than being. • Clear, immediate, easily accessible; a one page reference graph becomes the actor’s roadmap; a guide that leads the performer to actions. • Creation of a character map; a quick reference; getting acquainted with the play and discovering important patterns which may go unnoticed. • Clarification of beats and units in every moment of the scene or play. Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. |
