Workshop: ‘The Golden Box’ Intensive – The Golden Box Actor’s Training workshop is an intense two day lecture and workshop that maps out the technique used at The Studio. Actors will learn how to put together vivid and interesting characters through an emotional workshop with powerful lectures and technique exercises.
The class will answer the following questions:
* Why do some choices affect audiences more powerfully than others?
* How does one create raw and unforgettable performances?
* What tools specifically can be applied to television, film, and stage?
* How does one develop a deep personal story from nothing and discover interesting material for a one-man show, short, screenplay or novel?
The class is will be supported by film clips. There are discussions and analyses of performances by Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, Anthony Hopkins, James Dean, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and other actors.
Actors will learn how to build useful backstories by learning to open up emotionally and effectively, and by finding the triggers and psychological gestures that will work for you. This Los Angeles acting class has served as more than just another acting seminar; participants discover deep truths about themselves as artists.
