This weekend intensive is designed to be for advanced students in a challenging environment, designed to simulate the audition lifecycle of a guest-star level actor. Previous versions of FATS assigned material to students with a 48-hour turn around time each week for a specific assignment. The weekend intensive will simulate four (4) weeks of assignments in a single weekend. Those assignments include: On-camera, in the room audition, chemistry read, and on-set.

In this class students will break down the text according to “The Power of the Actor” – 12 steps, and all of the emotional exercises in the book and then apply it to scene work. The goal is to get every student to learn how to be proactive and win an objective in the scene while creating a dynamic performance. While there is no filming element to this class, the technique is designed especially through the use of inner monologue and inner objects to be captured, truthfully for the camera.

 While Practical Aesthetics technique is a text analysis and acting technique for any level actor, it is only for the serious one. You have heard that “Those who fail to plan are those who plan to fail.”…well, translated for the actor, that means “DO YOUR PREP WORK!” Why? So that you actually can live truthfully in the moment and stay out of your head. This can only happen when you have come to the audition, set, or stage confident in your preparation as a professional. In this course, you will learn how to tell the story, not just deliver the lines. Being yourself is enough to tell a compelling story and developing the tools and understanding of how to use truthful essential actions is what Practical Aesthetics is all about.

How many times have you said, “I knew the lines perfectly in the car/shower”? How many times have you said, “I get so nervous in the waiting/audition room”? How many times have you just sort of said your lines with meaning & not made informed, confident & detailed choices?
All that will change in our new class, THE BREAKDOWN. Cat & Dustin will help you build a working foundation that you will use for the rest of your career!

Objective of this class…is for every actor to leave with a fully-equipped tool belt, in regards to breaking down a script, and the ability to apply that new found knowledge to their performance. Students will be paired up and assigned scenes. We’ll then outline the process for breaking down scripts, mining them for every nugget of information necessary for character development.

This class is so much more than Movement but it is actually the Mind, Voice, and Body Integration that is the goal of this class that will cover a variety of techniques and processes including Linklater-based vocal production and movement technique drawn from the work of Michael Chekhov, Michael Lugering, and Rudolf Laban. She will cover some Alexander technique to address relaxation as well, combined with the workshopping monologues and scenes.
