8 WEEK INTRODUCTION
TO PRACTICAL AESTHETICS
Practical Aesthetics is a highly effective acting technique
which enables the actor to consistently produce work
that is as compelling and truthful to watch as it is exhilarating
to perform. The technique by its very structure encourages
the actor to habitually honor the writer’s intentions,
avoid cliché interpretations, and remain outwardly
focused. All of these elements combine to allow the story
of the play/screenplay to be communicated to the audience
in the most illuminating way. The Introductory course is ideal for actors who would
like a solid base from which to begin their creative work
on any role. Actors will learn the steps of the script
analysis technique and soon put them into practice by working
on contemporary scenes with other actors. Focus throughout
will be on analyzing the script, moment-to-moment work
with the Repetition Exercise and basic performance technique.
This class meets twice weekly for 8 weeks and provides
a concise introduction to Practical Aesthetics. This course
is suitable for actors with or without formal training.

SCENE CLASS
This class is for actors who have previously trained in Practical Aesthetics,
either with PAA or at the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School in New
York. At this level, students put their skills into practice by working
on more challenging material and making their own directorial choices.
The class will focus on exploring scenes at the level of each individual
actor, and encouraging actors to choose roles that will
extend them beyond their "type" or safety zone. Included in
the course will be work on scenes from different styles and periods, longer
scenes, multiple
character scenes, Q & A, and trouble-shooting specific problems encountered
in the profession or with the technique.
DATES & TIMES:
NEXT SCENE CLASS DATES TBC.
