SCRIPT ANALYSIS / SCREEN STUDY HYBRID
Aquila/Morong StudioThis class is designed to lead you through a process that begins with the author's intent and takes you through the collaborative effort that is building a back story, a character, and a career. Script Analysis/Scene Study Hybrid combines the character building tools in of script analysis with rigorous exploration of craft through scene work. This ten week class will be split into two sections. The first five weeks: You will do intensive work on a play using Adler based script analysis and creating truthful, layered characters based on the text and intent of the author. In depth analysis is the key to unlocking your character. Through the use of back story and imagination you will learn how to apply these concepts directly to the text and explore the themes of the play from your character's point of view. The second five weeks: You will apply the tools you have learned to scene work with a partner. As in Master Scene Study the focus will be on specificity in all areas of preparation, performance, and the creation of a fully realized character. You will investigate the world of the character in sessions that will challenge you to do your best work. This will create a mindset and a process that you can rely upon throughout your career; the true definition of "craft." It is highly recommended that you read "Stella Adler on American Master Playwrights" before beginning class.
