Course Description

This is a beginning to advanced beginning class that focuses on delineating the function of left and right hemispheres of the brain for the purpose of strengthening one's ability to send and receive information in the "moment" of acting. Imagination exercises, improvisation and cold reading from stage and film scripts will be used to access creative and intuitive responses. The hope is to free the actor from the left-brain chatter while acting. Cold reading exercises are based on the Charles Conrad Technique. (See Wikipedia for Charles Conrad).
