Intermediate Acting Workshop

INTERMEDIATE ACTING WORKSHOP: YOU'RE GOOD. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. Five years of productions. You know your angles, you hit your marks, you get cast — again and again — as the same role wearing different costumes. Somewhere along the way, reliable became a cage. This intensive is for the actor who's done the plays, earned the applause, and still feels an unopened door: the role you've never dared to ask for. The performance where the audience forgets it's you up there. In three hours of intensive scene work, you will meet your acting default — the safe patterns five years of habit have built — and deliberately break it. You'll learn to play the electric current under the lines, not the lines themselves. You'll rebuild a character from the breath up until your own family wouldn't recognize you on stage. And you'll leave with the one thing experience alone never gives you: range. This is not a beginners' class. Come with 5+ years of stage experience, a monologue you know cold, and the honesty to be surprised by yourself. AUGUST 15, 1-4PM Dougherty Arts Center, Austin Limited to 12 actors. Chai on us. Courage on you. For the actors of Austin's Indian theatre community — and every actor anywhere who suspects they've been playing it safe. You've proven you can act. Now find out who else you can become.
