All actors are on a learning curve. Imagine a big arc that starts from the lower corner of a page and arcs up in a parabola towards the top right corner, becoming a parallel line with the top of the page, but never quite reaching that final corner. That uppermost corner is perfection. None of us will ever each it. Not even Meryl Streep. (Although, she is close!)
The bottom left hand corner is the first time an actor ever acted. Now most who are training to be professional actors are up somewhere mid-way on their learning curve. Every actor has their own specific individual learning curve…(that’s why actors should never, ever, ever compare notes).
A teacher’s job is to visualize the actor’s learning curve, pinpoint where they are on their personal arc, and move them further ahead.
SCENE STUDY CLASS is the collaborative forum that brings to light what the actor needs to work on right now, providing the path up the curve.
Depending on where you are on your own curve, as well as how proficient you are with The Actor’s Foundry’s CORE-Applied Process, one of these three options will work best for you:
