PERFORMANCE
with Peter Feeney.
“You can pick up a copy of Peters book at bol.com. A good bit of Peters methodology and technique work is right there in his book. “This is a fine act book, and even if you never got the chance to meet Peter, you’d walk away richer-in a practical, playable way- just for having read it.”
Alex Murphy, Mulholland Program Director.
—————-
Sessions 1-3: grow a monologue into a one person show and then present to the public:
1 – Build ensemble and connection with warmups and games; then each actor presents a monologue chosen by them (actors can also request options from me). Set some monologue prep to do for next session.
2: work on monologues.
3: rehearse/ block monologues; then run in an OPEN CLASS.
Sessions 4-6: work on one long scene from the same contemporary play:
4 – Read, discuss, cover text tools and offer a range of prep techniques to do at home.
5 – Character and animal work.
6 – Physical and voice work, organically finding the blocking for a live audience.
7 – PUBLIC PERFORMANCE with costume and props.
