Out of Your Head and Into Your Heart: Developing a Character

Description
Have you ever caught yourself in your “Actor Brain” while performing?
“What’s my next line? My big scene is coming up! Am I loud enough?”

The chasm between the actor’s head and the character’s heart can feel overwhelming! By learning to live in the moment, this workshop will help hone your observational and textual analysis skills by developing complex characters. Actors will explore and perform a monologue from a chosen selection while gaining the finesse needed to truthfully embody a unique and juicy character. Let’s close that gap together!
