Fundamentals: Performance Naturalism at The Actors Centre

This workshop will take a multifaceted approach to naturalistic acting, from application to text and text analysis through to character building and performance. We will utilise techniques by some of the most relevant and respected theatre practitioners of our time including Stanislavski, Uta Hagen, Susan Batson, Sanford Meisner and Stella Adler. In studying a wide range of texts from modern classics through to new writing, we will explore the meaning of truthful performance, look at how the actor makes dynamic character choices and build on these choices to develop creative naturalistic performances with detail, colour and nuance.
