Learn how to create vivid and fleshed out characters through an intense and emotional workshop with lectures and technique exercises.
THE GOLDEN BOX is a two day in depth lecture that breaks down the technical map used at The Acting Studio at Edgemar.
The class focuses on answering the following questions:
• Why are some choices more powerful than others?
• How does one deliver a raw unforgettable performance?
• What specific tools can be applied to film, television and stage work?
• How does one develop a personal story from scratch?

The class is supported by film clips. There will be discussions and analyses of performances by Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Dean and many others.

Exercises include learning how to build provocative and complex back stories, finding triggers and psychological gestures in your work, and discovering material for a one woman/man show, screenplay, short or novel.

This class has served as more than an acting seminar as past participants have discovered profound truths about themselves as artists.
