INTRODUCTION TO TECHNIQUE 2
Live and online from Melbourne
“I learned so much about my craft, and myself, and could go on for paragraphs, so I’ll just say: if you’re thinking about doing any of the courses here, my advice is to do it!” - Bianca Conry
Designed specifically to be delivered online, Introduction to Technique 2 is a follow-on program that deepens and enriches the work explored in Introduction to Technique 1.
The emphasis in this program is on developing strong and genuine access to your emotional core, and the ability to bring yourself authentically to absolutely any role. Participants work on challenging material and are required to undertake pre-class and weekly homework. The pre-class homework is outlined below. Participants present new material each session including scripted monologues, writing assignments and one of Uta Hagen’s famous Object Exercises.
Class sizes are kept small to ensure maximum personal development.
“It’s an amazing institution with wonderful, caring and passionate people!” - Adam Hetherington
