There are many talented young actors who want to act but not necessarily sing and dance. This one-week drama intensive is geared towards this actor as well as the musical theater actor who wants more formal dramatic acting training. Straight acting is different than acting for musical theater in that it demands subtly, an attention to text, and the skills necessary to navigate the internal experience of a character so acting is natural and authentic. In this intensive, we will explore the fundamentals of scene study, introduce students to dynamic acting methods and prepare them to approach work in the realm of the “straight play” with more confidence and charisma. A casual presentation of scene work will take place on the last day of the camp session.
