Intention/Motivation
- What is your purpose or desired outcome? Are you looking to entertain,
motivate, persuade, activate or give information? Is your delivery
system comedic, dramatic or narrative? Is your audience 2 or 10,000,
on stage or a camera close up?
Body & Facial
Language - The silent language that gives your message believability.
It's the outward expression of your inner thoughts and an important
source of information about your emotions. Your thoughts wash over
your face, then your body and then your voice is expressed through
this veil.
Active Listening
& Observing - The heart of successful interaction in any situation.
We listen through the filter of our eyes and see through the filter
of our ears in response to surrounding stimuli. Often the most powerful
moments are in observing the performer listening and feeling sensations
within themselves before they transmit them through their visual
cues.
Performance
Tools - Making the most of improvisation, mime, props/equipment
and memory techniques, coupled with directing nerves, preparing
your part and utilizing your physical tool box of the body, face
and brain are essential components in delivering great performances
- in any arena.
Exercises to
broaden personality or character styles, expand the full range of
emotional states and increase the acuity of all the senses are employed
in private or group sessions.
