“What is most important to me is to transform the ‘class’ into an ‘ensemble of artists,’ who come to build a bond of trust and end up feeling supported and challenged to take a risk. That risk involves allowing oneself, emotionally, to reveal and understand, more and more, personal truth. I use a variety of exercises (Hagen, Meisner, Grotowski, my own) to help the actor create honest, compelling behavior to serve the story being told. Generally, we focus on three important ideas: Acting is doing. – The gasoline for doing is meaning. – It is of utmost importance to be present and, ‘in the moment’”. We will have each participant in the 8-part series work on either a monologue or a scene, putting into use the tools introduced: ACTION, MEANING, PRESENCE.”
