Our 'Beginning Level' course. Taught by Lon Bumgarner, this 8-week course is a foundational study in acting and instilling your ability to achieve Objectives. (If you've never heard that term and you want to act, you need this class!) We use cameras to record your progress and to analyze what is happening in your performance. This fosters understanding of the actors' relationship to the vehicle of film. In addition, the basic premises of 'truthful' acting are introduced and examined, based on a combination of the Stanislavski Method and Lon’s own conglomeration of wisdom from years of directing, working in the industry and teaching.
TECHNIQUE*
Through verbal instruction, exercises, and scene work on scripts, students are given a comprehensive, individualized, and organic acting technique for approaching roles in film, television, and the theatre in a graduate-school style class.
* The Subtextual Film Acting Class is a prerequisite for Technique, except on approval. Please consult the Film Actors' Studio Manager for inquiries. Auditions available by appointment for those who may be advanced enough via other training & experience outside of FAST prerequisite classes. Note: If you'd like to take this class, let us know ASAP-- class only goes forward when we have quorum of 6 or more!
