Geared to novice performers, this is a comprehensive introduction to theatre fundamentals including voice, movement, character development, improvisation, storytelling, stagecraft, scene work and performance.
In this collaborative camp, teens will gain experience in the Meisner Technique, which defines acting as living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Through exercises, improv games, and in-depth character analysis, students will workshop a monologue, scene or poem and perform it to demonstrate the skills they’ve learned.
Teens will work together to create an original piece of theater to be performed at the end of week. Students will participate in exercises, games, and techniques that contribute to the devising process. They will explore the roles of actor, director, creator, and designer, and how they come together to create the world of theatre.
Learn the basic rules of the game as you hone acting skills like active listening and spontaneity. You will also gain a better understanding of character, circumstance, emotion, and action. Make yourself and your scene partner look great and say "yes!" to actions and characters introduced into a scene. Improv is a great confidence builder in addition to being a lot of fun!
The world of auditioning has transformed over the last several years. Many auditions for theater, film, musicals and television, even for college and graduate school entry, are self-taped, instead of in-person. This audition technique class is more relevant for professional preparation than ever before, and is led by Marcus Giamatti, a 35-year still-working actor whose credits include Judging Amy, The X-Files, Homicide: Life on the Street, Monk, The Mentalist, House M.D. and Criminal Minds.
This in-depth and comprehensive class will cover all aspects of the audition process, preparing students to have a more confident, relaxed approach to in-person auditioning. Using Stanislavsky’s 5 Questions and Emotional Empathy, students will explore how to build characters from their own unique experiences. They will score a monologue for meaning, beats, shifts, intentions and discovery through the language in the text, and then practice those monologues in a mock audition setting. Students will also read scenes from chosen scripts, with the instructor, Marcus Giamatti (a life-long, still auditioning and working actor in theatre, film and TV), serving as the reader.
To register by phone, please call the Box Office at 717-397-7425. Email education@thefulton.org with questions or to be placed on waiting list.
