Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

Deepen your understanding of the Barrow Group approach and comprehensive performance tools while developing ensemble skills through games, analyzing scripts and story structure, working on monologues, and studying scenes.

Prerequisite: Beginners Acting I: The Basics

All exercises are designed to accomplish the following learning objectives:

  • Encourage spontaneity and genuine responsiveness in performance
  • Foster the development of authentic, human behavior onstage
  • Help actors develop greater sensitivity, imagination, and responsiveness to their scene partners
  • Enable actors to relax and access their creative instincts
  • Create the ability to adjust performance work invisibly and effortlessly so audiences perceive genuine human interaction rather than an actor displaying effort
  • Liberate performers to work with greater freedom and confidence

Week 2: Script analysis and story structure exploration

Week 3: Memorization techniques and scenic environment construction

    I loved this class. Sidse Ploug was my teacher. She was amazing at explaining the most complicated thoughts....The Barrow Group is just great! I have taken 3 classes there and I am in other classes elsewhere and no place is as positive and clear like TBG.
