Art of Acting For Ages 10 - 15
Overview
All Art of Actingclasses are designed, taught or supervised by Phil Hosford (Helen-Hayes and WATCH Awards Best Lead Actor nominee) who is first and foremost dedicated to teaching practical, useful and effective acting technique for film and stage to all ages.
Basic Philosophies:
- Acting is Doing: The heart of acting. We start with playing specific objectives from the very first class.
- Acting is Reacting: Willingness to listen, be "in the moment" and available to be changed by your partner.
- Acting is easy to explain (like tennis) but takes experienced coaching to build the greatest skill in the least amount of time.
- "Shows" give experience of being in a show. They do not teach acting skill. That's what class is for.
- Classes should be (and are) naturally fun and captivating
- Minimum of game playing.
- Classes are filled with laughter, but games that do little or nothing to build acting skills are out.
