in person
with John Markland
November 17th - december 8th
Risk trusts that what you have in your heart will overcome any monster you might face. In life, as in acting, the greater the risk the higher the tension the more potent the effect. As actors, we are the physical expression of emotion and therefore must expose the vulnerable parts and risk being SEEN, HEARD and FELT. We risk to give ourselves a chance… we are worth it, and here’s what I have to say.
Getting to the risk takes more than someone next to you screaming, “JUST JUMP!” It is a delicious mix of urgency, courage, faith and surrender or as some cal it “f*ck it’. The ability to take risk or not, shows up in every part of your life. It could be voicing your opinion, expressing true feelings, claiming a position, stepping on stage, screaming the rage you feel, crying the fear you hide, making that ugly or really f*#king weird choice in your auditions or the courage to say out loud CHOOSE ME.
We will tap into these great liberators and explore how they motivate or deny you. This may involve opening some difficult doors but, in the end, we’l you’l more
freely
I’ve made a list of characters who took the risk, who said choose me or who leapt into the great unknown screaming “f*ck it!” Get in and start today.
The class will be 4 weeks. Step up.
Every experience level is invited.
