This class is designed to introduce the actor to SAH systematic acting technique known throughout the world as the Method. Students train in this technique to develop the actor’s ability to respond with real behavior to imaginary stimuli. This Three hour class consists of two parts: work on one’s self and work on the character.
The first part of each class begins with SAH relaxation technique and moves to his sequence of sensory exercises which train the actor’s concentration, ability to respond to imaginary objects, and organic expression. The relaxation exercise is done each week to ensure that the physical and mental tension within the body, which inhibits the actor, diminishes throughout the duration of the course. The sensory exercise starts with the actor’s ability to recreate objects which s/he encounters every day. The exercises become more complicated when additional objects of concentration are added and when the frequency with which the actor encounters the objects of concentration diminishes. Besides our online classes right through adult students can learn theater history and theory d elas acting techniques.
The second part of each class is devoted to improvisation, scene work, and monologues where students apply what they have learned in the exercise work and online class to fulfill the demands of a play and the creation of a role.
