There are 3 modules: each one highlights a particular aspect of the acting craft:
Able-bodied assistants Amina and Noah demonstrate these aspects. B.J. does a mini-lecture about the content of each lesson, followed by demonstrations of what to do, with occasional pauses for actors to input, and practice what they’re learning. The goal, is for actors to start a video journal, that allows them to practice, and monitor their progress on each aspect of the work presented in the course.
- Action and Character
- Objects and Imagination
- Verbs and Language
- A Little Sensory fun
***********************************************************
Hay tres módulos: cada uno destaca un aspecto particular de la actuación: los asistentes Amina y Noah demostraran estos aspectos, B.J. dará una mini-conferencia sobre el contenido de cada lección, seguida por demostraciones de que hacer, con pausas ocasionales para el aporte del actor y para practicar lo que están aprendiendo. La meta es que los actores empiezen un diario video que les ayude a practicar, y monitorear su progreso en cada aspecto de su trabajo.
- Acción y Personje
- Objetos y Imaginacion
- Verbos y Lenguaje
- Un poco de Diversión Sensorial
