For students who already have some training and performance experience, IAFT offers an opportunity to enter a workshop-intensive environment to polish your technique and flex your performance muscle.
Students will learn to:
Interpret contemporary film and stage material—pursuing character and story analysis to feed the actor’s imagination so as to make the best choices possible.
Engage weekly in structured presentations, practicing in collaboration with directors, other actors, and writers — all designed to lead you toward an interpretation of the role best suited to the story.
Investigate and utilize improvisation and technique exercises toward building spontaneity, specificity, and the ability to work with — and off — another actor’s behavior.
Improvise solo and with one or more actors, in non-scripted scenarios, exploring an open, relaxed, and spontaneous approach to all performance work.
Discuss and examine the architecture of auditions and casting calls in various markets: also, prepare and try out audition material under mock audition scenarios — additionally, you will have numerous opportunities to audition for actual projects.
Observe the signature techniques of acting for film, experimenting with speech, language, gesture, pacing, physical blocking, objectives and levels — all this to get a clear and specific sense of your relationship to the camera, developing a distinct grasp of the difference between film and stage — and what the two disciplines share.
Understand and appreciate the role of crew members responsible for production, camera, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup, props, and set design.
Develop a sense of professional etiquette to facilitate a consistently successful, harmonious approach to working with fellow actors, crew, directors, and producers.
