Good acting requires bold, truthful action to achieve your character’s objectives. Using a variety of exercises, games, and neutral scenes, this workshop will delve into a variety of approaches to actions (otherwise known as tactics) for actors that are strong, embodied, and effective, resulting in performances that are specific, dynamic, and alive.
