This intensive beginner’s course immerses novices in acting fundamentals rooted in the traditions of Stanislavski, revered as the father of modern acting. His methodology initially redefined modern American theatrical and cinematic performance, subsequently influencing the entire acting world.
Spanning 12 days, the course, designed by Charlie Curilan, introduces the actor to concepts and practices developed by Stanislavski, Strasberg, Stella Adler, Uta Hagen, Sanford Meisner, David Mamet &William H. Macy, Michael Chekov, and Tony Grahn. Its aim is to cultivate a deep appreciation for the actor’s craft and provide participants with an experiential understanding of embodying characters within storytelling.
Participants engage in a structured process that integrates foundational principles, applying them through basic scene study, script analysis, audition techniques, and self-taping exercises. Practical insights into industry practices-from navigating the casting process to finding representation and selecting headshots-are also covered. The course culminates in the actor’s FIRST monologue performance, initial self-tape audition, and a headshot photoshoot, equipping participants to navigate the competitive and dynamic entertainment industry.
Designed to prepare committed individuals for further exploration in dramatic arts and more advanced training at the Mulholland Academy. #dramaschool #acting #drama #actor #theatre #actingclasses #actingcoach #actorslife #actingtraining #actors #performingarts #actinglessons #actingschool #dramaclub #actingclass #actingworkshops #actress #actordevelopment #actormanager #auditions
