Technique and Scene study with Open Class

with Peter Feeney.

Peter Feeney two day masterclass

“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.

—————-

Work on one monologue and two scenes over seven sessions.

Session 1: building ensemble via games and warmups; 1 x monologue, physical and vocal exercises to free the actor and open up the work; 2 runs only, no camera.

Sessions 2 & 3: with our scenes, focus on text technique – first session with each scene layer in some basic tools – script analysis (precision of understanding), keywording, objectives/ opposites/ expectations, scene actions and given circumstances, and more. Prep at home, present in the second session.

Sessions 4-7: 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 – OPEN CLASS, run with basic costume and props (maybe with friends invited).
