Monologues and Audition Technique

This class will teach young actors how to approach monologues in an imaginative, specific, and impulse driven way. The course will focus on skills for how to select material that speaks to you in a visceral place, and on how to bring that material to life through a deep and embodied connection to what is compelling you to say these words, in this exact moment, to whoever you are speaking to. Topics covered will also include pre-beats, textual analysis, various monologue structures, and how to listen and react to an imaginary partner. The course will also cover audition techniques, helping young actors gain both the skill set and confidence to begin auditioning successfully. Additional courses in rotation might include: Voice and Text, Movement, On Camera, or Stage Combat.
