Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this scene study class:

Important: This class is not for recreational class takers, but is intended for professionals who are pursuing a career in acting. Please consider that before enrolling.

The most important class actors fail to take.

How do you make strong confident choices when you only have 3 pages of sides and no script?

Solving the Mystery

Learn how to unlock the hidden clues using:
  • Lateral Thinking,
  • Deductive Reasoning
  • Extreme Logic.
Take the Fear Out of Auditions
  • There is no such thing as a wrong choice
  • The only wrong choice is no choice
  • The only rule is: Your choice cannot violate the script
  • Every strong choice that adheres to this rule is a right choice
  • Not everyone is going to like your choices. Learn to live with it
Half the battle in acting is figuring out the purpose of the scene and defining your job. How can you do a job if you don’t know what it is? Then you have to decide how you want to play the scene, and make strong choices that drive home the purpose while infusing the scene with interesting thoughts and levels. The key to making strong choices is the confidence that comes from knowing with certainty that you can defend all of your choices as valid. That confidence comes from thorough and creative script analysis.

No part of the acting technique can stand alone. They all fit together to give the actor the necessary tools to succeed. One of the most neglected tools is Script Analysis. But Script Analysis must be taught in the context of how you use it with the other elements of the acting technique and most especially Stanislavsky’s Super-Objective.

In this class you not only learn how to read, research, and explore scripts differently you also learn how to combine your analysis with the full use of the Super Objective, or as we call it here, “The Happiness” to create the full and rich world your character inhabits. This in turn opens up the emotional life of the character as well as inspiring strong interesting choice in the approach to the dialogue.

We will go through the different concepts of analysis, using scripts and sides from Theater, Film and Television; everything from creating a full rich character for a day player role with one line to creating the full character arc for a leading role in a film. There are no hard and fast rules for analyzing scripts. Every new script presents a new challenge. Embrace the challenge.

Penny Templeton Studio

Acting has drastically evolved from the days of Stanislavsky and the Group Theatre, when techniques were geared for the actor who would rehearse for 5 or 6 months, or more. Gradually the business began speeding up as TV and film work increased and theatre rehearsals went from 8 weeks to 6 weeks to...
