Over two introductory analysis sessions and two weekends of filming\, this workshop is intended to aid actors in building a more sustainable framework from which to draw upon in their film and television work and to provide actors with a safe\, supportive\, and rich environment to explore key principles in cinematic storytelling. \nThe workshop begins with two sessions on Zoom with an analysis of text aimed at identifying how and where visual story is expressed on the page. Actors will then move into two weekends in person\, shooting short scripted scenes in pairs. Each scene will have the opportunity to work twice over the two weekends\, moving through multiple takes. Participants will explore letting go of previous takes and allowing new stimuli to inform and deepen the possibilities in the work. Introductory sessions run Tuesday and Wednesday evening\, 6:30pm-9:00pm. The two weekends of shooting run Saturdays and Sundays\, 12:00pm-4:00pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Welker White & Damian Young\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Welker White and Damian Young are co-founders of The Moving Frame\, a process-oriented exploration of screen acting that offers actors an immersion into the language of cinematic storytelling.

Offering tools to connect actors more authentically with their scene partners\, their characters\, and their own emotions\, this workshop will not only support greater honesty in performance\, but support actors in being more present and self-aware in their lives. \nMartha Graham once said “There is a vitality\, a life force\, a quickening that is translated through you into action\, and there is only one of you in all time.” Now and in the future\, as actors compete with AI versions of themselves and others\, it is critical to tap into that unique spark and to allow it to grow and bloom in ways that no algorithm can ever replicate.

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.

Based on the teachings of Ilse Middendorf and principles from the Alexander Technique\, the penumbra method is a movement and meditation practice that centers on the breath as an agent for integration and personal direction. During our time together\, we will engage in a dialogue with our active imagination and unconscious. Informed by your unique lived experience\, the work offers insight\, a sense of your wholeness\, and is uniquely personal to you. You will begin to discover you are no longer observing yourself with an eye toward correcting habits\, but instead\, allowing habitual patterns to unravel and facilitate movement that unifies the entire body\, so that you are in command of your presence\, both in your work and life.
