Swami - I won't be teaching a specific technique, other than my own. The Shakespeare work is largely based on John Barton's approach, and we will definitely incorporate a good deal of Viola Spolin's improv work. Outside of that, it's going to be a mix of techniques and terminology.

DK - I actually had an award-winning filmmaker take the class last year for just that reason: getting to know how the actor thinks and how to talk to them. although we'll be talking stage, it's all based in American Naturalism and equally well suited to film work. It's not like we're working on projection, etc.

This sounds very appealing. Can you give us any idea what the cost would be?

I'll make sure to let you know. We're still making plans.

We're gauging interest now that the initial Pre-Professional class has largely moved on. The latest plans also do involve some more specifically film-oriented classes.

Cool. Keep me posted on those. I kind of wish I could just observe (making take the class, pay and everything, but just watch others act instead of doing it myself), but I understand that's probably not something they'd go for.
