AREAS OF ARTIST DEVELOPMENT SUMMER 2010

Dramatic Art

SUMMER DRAMA WORKSHOPS 2010

Director: Kate Kennedy

"All true artists bare within themselves a deeply rooted and often unconscious desire for transformation." (Michael Chekhov)

The Art of Creating: Awareness  Movement  Characterization  Psychological Gesture Transformation

The Dramatic Art Summer Workshop is a one or two week course that enables the actor to express and embody the character's objectives in a new way through The Psychological Gesture. The Michael Chekhov technique is a profound movement training combining sensation, vision and awareness through image and movement. The student artists will have the opportunity to work on contemporary text for the purposes of voice, movement, awareness, characterization, improvisation, audition technique and script analysis. The student artists will work on monologues and scenes that are chosen with their own particular needs in mind.

Classes take place from 10am-4pm, Monday to Friday. Some sessions during the week may run a little longer than this. The classes are mandatory. There is no option to miss a class as the ensemble depends upon each other to work on the material. Students are expected to consider these workshops as professional training.

Students are required to wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement in the Actors Studio.
