PRIVATE COACHING - FORMAT
In short, this format is designed to get you ready for when preparation meets opportunity. A four part format over the course of four hours each week, using basic components of Stanislavski's preparation method of building a character leading up to the moment, along with Meisner's repetition components in the moment:
1) Scene preparation & analysis. Interpreting material, imagining the world of the play, making strong emotionally connected choices.
2) Warm up repetition exercises.
3) Scene work with repetition, direction, character exercises and adjustments built-in, to maximize a strong, grounded, honest, emotionally connected result.
4) On camera/Audition Technique. Strong POV, know how you feel, framing, eye lines, emotional connection to off camera reader. Leave yourself alone and deal with whats right in front of you. The word come because you have a feeling and you 'want' the word to come, NOT because they 'have' to.

"The more an actor can take in about the partner and the surroundings while performing in character, the more they can 'leave themselves alone' and 'live truthfully'."
- Sanford Meisner -
"The actor should not imitate or impersonate, but become the part by working on the link between the role and the reality of your own life and emotions. In short, free your imagination and develop complete self awareness both physically and mentally."
- Konstantine Stanislavski -
