Act Natural

Find yourself in theatre!

As an actor, you don't make up or pretend anything. You commit your full, authentic self to portray the human experience. As a result, this program will benefit anyone interested in furthering their journey of self-discovery, as well as those who are curious about acting and performance.

It is a popular belief that actors 'lose' themselves in their roles. In fact, it is the responsibility of actors to find themselves in their characters through a process of:

• Self-discovery
• Self-revelation
• Relationship with fellow actors
• Engagement with the world of the play

Format: Through exercises designed for acting students, including improvisation, movement, scene study, and breath work, participants will experience the intimacy and aliveness of the acting process. The focus of this program is not on final performance, but on the process of bringing yourself forward, connecting with, and trusting, your own natural instincts. No prior acting experience is needed. Just bring yourself and a willingness to play...and be prepared to discover the natural actor in you!
