Acting as Play with Gabriel Levey *co-produced with Silverthorne Theater Company

Saturdays | 1-4pm EST
April 15th - May 27th in person (No Class May 6th) East Street Studios, 47 East Street in Hadley MA $265 | Open to 12 participants SOLD OUT Rediscover your wonder and the simple pleasure of playing pretend! Get out of your head and jump into your body! Give your chorus of critics a break and make a glorious mess!
In this weekly class participants will be provided with a safe, brave space to · take big risks before feeling “ready” · put logic aside to make way for a highly imaginative physical appetite/objective · embrace the precarious pleasure of not needing to know what’s coming next · find fun in whatever given circumstances the character has no choice but to endure · and always lead with hope, regardless of the inevitable disasters laid out in the text Building on the work of master teachers Christopher Bayes (Head of Movement, Yale School of Drama), Ron Van Lieu (former chair of NYU Grad Acting and the Yale School of Drama) and Evan Yionoulis (former chair of the Yale School of Drama and current chair of The Juilliard School), Acting as Play is a wholly unique approach to text and scene work, centering imagination, play and vulnerability as the foundation of all performance. Over the 6 classes participants will have the opportunity to work on a monologue of their choosing and a scene, which will be assigned. Be prepared to move, make a big ol’ ruckus and have fun, maybe too much fun and then some more fun, just for fun! (Click here for teacher bio) |
