An intensive course that focuses on the development of each student’s unique imagination. Using a technique called “Mantle of the Expert” created by Dorothy Heathcote, students will explore various characters from within, enhancing the actor’s ability to be present and connected and to have honest impulses. An excellent follow-up course for students who enjoyed Intro to Acting, the Drama Workshop, or other similar, improv-based acting courses, or for actors seeking to develop enhanced spontaneity and naturalness in their scripted work.
