SCENE STUDY WORKSHOP STOCKHOLM
INCORPORATING THE TOOLS
with JEFFREY GLICKMAN
​
A weekly workshop focused on the application of the systems and tools in the context of the actor’s approach to characterization with bringing scenes and monologues to life. We aim that the actor learns how vital preparation is without the support of a director - something specifically important for the film and TV actor, who's typically required to show up with independently prepared (and rehearsed) choices and be ready to work.
Rehearsal points are comprised of: identifying unique and compelling choices, the exploration of place, prior event and where we are going, creating relationship, characterization, identifying beats and blocking, objectives, playing the action, inner and outer atmospheres, obstacles, costume, composition and– living truthfully in the imaginary given circumstances.
​
Scene work taken from specific "good, simple scenes" identified as those that serve the actors learning process.
