This free workshop presented by the San Francisco-Northern California Conservatory is for SAG-AFTRA members, designed to help actors find ease with using the imagination as their primary tool in connecting emotionally. It will also explore the foundations of a practical approach to performance for actors of all levels. If you have ever been confused by the myriad terms and approaches of acting methods, or feel pressured to be more emotional, this workshop will help you sort through and create a foundation for a way of working no matter what your approach or training may be. This is a hands-on workshop which will include improvisational and scripted scene work, as well as covering a clear, practical understanding of such foundation concepts as:
- Substitution
- Backstory
- Given circumstances
- The role of emotion
- The magic "as if"
- Being "in the moment"
Class size is limited to 32 members.
