BASIC TECHNIQUE SERIES
Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio The Basic Technique Series gives student actors the opportunity to develop skills that can be applied easily, effectively and specifically. We discovered that most beginning acting classes in Los Angeles were scene study classes, where students who had never acted before were given a scene, told to perform it, and then critiqued. That is like someone who wants to dance going to ballet class the first day - told to dance Swan Lake and then told how to do the steps afterwards. It just doesn't make much sense to us. Acting, contrary to popular belief, does have a finite number of concrete and learnable skills. Those include the ability to: Access the creative imagination Break down a script Create a truthful character Master a strong and flexible body and voice The Technique Series was developed to give those skills to the actor first, and then apply them to a performance. It is a great program for the Beginning Actor or for the more experienced actor who wants to refresh his or her tools. The Series is divided into three 12-week sessions: The Character, The Script, The Foundation These classes can be taken in any order. Classes run between 3 and 4 hours and students work in every class! No one ever just sits and watches at EMAS. The goal is to develop a comprehensive set of "acting tools" to draw upon when approaching a role or a scene. As a result students acquire confidence, self-awareness, a strong creative spirit and professional work ethic. All the traits needed for an acting career.
