Discover an embodied process for on-camera scene work, from preparation to performance, and increase your on-camera presence!
We will cover:
orienting to calm down your nervous system in the audition room
exploring the resources in the space as scene partners
how to quickly engage with your reader in a fully embodied way
using your attention, time and space consciously to translate the story of the script into 4D
embodied memorization
how to be with the camera, understand the frame and how to be with your full body while keeping your work within the frame
how to use tension efficiently and to your advantage in your storytelling
understanding the relationship between choice and tension in acting
locating the “I” and “me” in your own body in real time and space
discovering your character’s field of awareness
owning your time in your preparation, practice and execution in the room
re-embodying your imagination
unpacking what “presence” really is and how to cultivate it
The increased screen time we are facing as a cultur brings with it the challenging habit of disembodiment. This is particularly harmful to actors and performers whose work requires an even higher level of “presence” than every day activities. Regain your presence in your acting practices and directly apply that to your on-camera scene work!
