Master Acting Classes – Thursday 6-10PM

Master Acting Classes  with Penny Templeton

“I could’t have done this without Penny’s help.” Rochelle Aytes star of The UNFORGOTTEN (CBS) and MADEA”S FAMILY REUNION

Monthly – Thursday 6-10PM

For the Professional Actor

The Master Class is for the performer whose training is at the highest level. Each class consists of three parts

PART 1: Penny’s “Acting Barre,” a series of exercises developed to stretch and strengthen acting muscles (from opening up the emotional life to recreating a real life person as a character and all of the elements of the Structure found in Chapter 7 of ACTING LIONS).
THE ACTING BARRE

PART 2: The actor is trained to work quickly on camera with cold audition scenes. They then work on the same scene for a week, at home (with their own camera) to deepen the craft onscreen. The following week those scenes are played back on our large movie screen. This process develops both the actors ability to make strong choices quickly, in an audition situation, and the skill to use their craft on their own to do the deep digging necessary when they are playing the part.  The result of this two pronged effort is, that over time,  the actor’s choices become stronger and more focused in the audition situation .

PART 3:  Scene Study. The actors are trained to prepare on their own, i.e. script analysis, sensory, and substitutions. They then work on stage with the other actors, under Penny Templeton as director. This will follow the same rehearsal process as a professional theater environment. The first class of each month starts with a Table Read , as the actors explore the material of the new scene. As in the real world,  they then take the scene home and work on it by themselves, bringing in the results of their work to the next class.  The purpose is to create “Acting Lions”: actors whose technique and training gives them the tools to be artistically fierce performers.
