The workshop is intended to help the actor feel secure in preparing for a role or\, especially\, an audition requiring an accent or dialect. Deb will guide participants in looking at a contemporary English-language dialect and using it to explore muscular shifts\, vocal placement shifts\, primary and secondary speech sound shifts\, rhythm\, word linkage\, corresponding body language\, and the influence of climate and topography. \nThe approach is physical\, auditory\, and visual and will also look at tips and tricks to make the application of dialects and accents practical and useful for the individual actor. Participants are encouraged to also tackle an accent or dialect of their choosing and work on it during the workshop. There will be individual focus as well as group exploration. Sessions run Tuesday and Thursday mornings over two weeks from 10:00am-1:00pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Deborah Hecht\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Deborah Hecht is an internationally known voice\, speech and dialects coach.

Ted’s workshops are based on the question\, “What do you want to do with this role?” and there is a great deal to consider to effectively answer that question. Regardless of where you are on the call sheet\, when the camera is on you\, you’re #1 in the shot\, so what do you want to do with that opportunity? Ted will collaborate with actors to mine every detail in a script\, to be used to build a solid scene\, performance\, or audition. Once all the analysis is done\, Ted will guide participants in exploring what they want to accomplish artistically and how they can collaborate with any project to serve the world of the script\, the story\, the visual\, and most importantly the character\, so that their artistic signature is on the role whether it is a guest\, recurring\, or series regular. Participants will each work twice over the four weeks.

Throughout\, Leigh will offer insights to support actors in being present\, listening\, trusting connection\, and allowing a great story to emerge\, with the primary aim that participants leave knowing themselves better as artists. Sessions run 1:00pm-5:30pm. \nEnrollment is limited to 14 actors. You can sign up either together with a scene partner or as an individual to be paired with another individual. Participants are strongly encouraged to choose material that is new to them\, and neither rehearse nor memorize before the first session. If you prefer\, Leigh can assign you material or offer suggestions.

Masks unlock the deep knowledge of the physical\, emotional\, and intuitive body\, which directly interacts with taksu—a Balinese concept of performance energy marking the divine moment of manifestation. Understand its universal presence and its ability to transcend cultures and become a source of inspiration for your craft. \nParticipants will then have the opportunity to work from the intersection of their own culture on scenes\, using a vast network of scripts that Taylor has assembled from around the world. The process aims to enable participants to explore and celebrate their cultural heritage while pushing them in their training\, selecting scenes with a focus on cultural nuance and dramatic challenge. \nParticipants will experience a visceral awareness of character transformation and explore aspects of movement\, improvisation\, ensemble training\, character embodiment\, and spiritual practice for actors\, fostering genuine artistic and spiritual growth.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Budi Miller\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \nDr. Budi Miller is the former Head of Acting at the Victorian College of the Arts\, University of Melbourne (UoM)\, Australia (the first black person to hold this position at one of the top 3 drama schools in Australia).
