Scene Study:
Incorporating OBSERVATIONAL THEORY OF TECHNIQUE* and all applicable
versions of R.I.D.E THEORY OF MEMORIZATION* to template and
block current television and film scripts, this class is designed
to inspire actors to develop their most compelling qualities
on camera and eliminate mannerisms and "acting tricks"
that can hide an actors' uniqueness and vulnerability. The focus
will be on making dynamic and effective choices both internally
and externally. All final scenes will involve the use of props,
specific application to location/set and marks while focusing
on continuity, sequencing and the technical awareness of the
camera medium and frame. |
| Audition
Technique: Using current (actual sides as available) audition
sides, the actor will be lead through a complete audition situation.
The focus will be on the practical application of isolating
physical impulses pertaining to blocking and scoring while utilizing
exercises to develop relaxation, presence, confidence and technical
awareness for camera, lighting and sound. |
 |
Since
all of the master rotation courses are ongoing/continuous,
each class will vary on theme and content (process technique
and sensory, memorization, physicality, camera blocking, Chroma
key, ADR, continuity and replacement, stage combat and film
fight choreography, special effects production: squib, harness,
blood packs, etc. and post production application: morphing
and CGI, script templating, writing and re-templating, screenplay
and applied directing) according to the needs/requests of
each student and limitations of set versus location filming.
This course
is also designed to accommodate directors who are interested
in improving their communication skills with actors. |

The first stage
begins with a step-by-step overview of the industry covering
all facets of the business and related requirements (picture
and resume, breakdown of agents, casting, unions, working
permits and related applications) as pertaining to the Canadian
and U.S. markets.
Following this, OBSERVATIONAL
THEORY OF TECHNIQUE* (as derived from a hybrid of both Method
and Classical techniques) will be implemented into casting
ideals and introduced to the application to camera medium
within progressive cold read exercises
|
The
actor will then be lead through an extensive on camera scene
study application (focusing “on set" protocol with the
emphasis on transitional blocking and continuity) followed
by internalized monologue work. This stage will then be reviewed
as applied to a practical audition scenario.
|
The
second stage focuses on the evolution of OBSERVATIONAL THEORY
OF TECHNIQUE as R.I.D.E THEORY OF MEMORIZATION* (including Quick
R.I.D.E., Blocking R.I.D.E. and Contextual R.I.D.E) is introduced
over a twenty-one day program. The major applications being
to INSTINCTIVE PHYSICALITY* and final execution of blocking.
The summation lesson is again reviewed in an audition scenario,
this time incorporating Physicality and R.I.D.E. Theory.

as required to fulfill direction. All complete scenes (and replacement

Due to overwhelming requests (and after thorough research and
negotiations to arrange affordable broadcast quality camera
and editing capabilities), THE ACTORS NETWORK Television
and Film Studio is pleased to announce the first multi-structured,
truly affordable, complete filmmaking experience.
This course will begin with each student filmmaker collaborating
with an industry "hands on" Producer who will oversee
the development of the original idea and/or script. The project
will be formatted for screenplay (content and presentation)
and developed into a storyboard and/or shooting script.
Through the stages of scouting location and casting talent,
the project will then be produced and filmed in the appropriate
locations using broadcast equipment (supplied by studio). Each
student filmmaker will then be further involved in the editing
process and their final "director's cut" version will
be outputted onto DVD format.
The final stage concludes with a "grand premiere"
show of the project. The student filmmaker will present and
discuss their respective project (artistic and technical choices)
with industry related professionals and explore future networking
and distribution opportunities. |

This is a highly intensive course which offers the newcomer
to the music industry a truly eclectic musical experience.
Each participant will be introduced to music by discovering
new instruments (for example, developing a deeper understanding
of voice as related to piano, or a more in depth sense of
the technical aspect of the guitar or drums). The focus will
be on finding out how the body and mind work in conjunction
when learning more than one instrument and realizing the common
thread that joins the study of all instruments. You will never
hear music the same way again.

The fundamental process of technique will be approached in three stages. First, the emphasis will focus on concentration and innate mental preparation. Secondly, impulses to physicality will be identified, isolated, then reworked for specific execution of blocking. The third stage focuses on conviction levels and the overview of being able to incorporate all
three stages in script application. |
