WORKSHOPS

 

All workshops will be held at Chelsea Studios, 151 W. 26th St., unless otherwise noted.

 


 

MONOLOGUE WORKOUT

 

Every actor needs monologues. And after 22 years in the biz, I still see the majority of actors struggle with them.

 

Acting On Impulse's Monologue Workout will help you take a monologue and make it YOUR monologue. Bring in any monologue, classical or contemporary, and we will guide you through sensory work, listening skills, movement exercises, point of view, and ensemble work. We will tackle common problems actors encounter both in working on monologues on their own and auditioning with them.

 

At the end of the workshop you will be doing your monologue in a way that only YOU can.

"Although human beings are incapable of talking about themselves with total honesty,
it is much harder to avoid the truth while pretending to be other people. They often reveal
much more about themselves in a very straightforward way."

 

-- Kurosawa

 

 

FIVE SENSES WORKOUT

 

SENSORY WORK FOR THE CREATIVE ACTOR

 

In this workshop we will guide you through exercises to open up the 5 senses. The 5 senses are a powerful vehicle for the actor to access imagination, memory and impulses. In childhood we had deeper levels of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. They can be yours again.

 

This workshop allows the actor to hone a more receptive instrument to create characters that continue to evolve and surprise.

 

Combining aspects of Stanislavski, Strasberg, Neuro Linguistic studies, Dianne Ackerman's History of the 5 senses along with "Awareness through Movement" Work, and Intense Feeling Therapy work, this workshop takes you through each sense and what it can bring out depending on how it's stimulated. 45 minutes are spent on each sense along with additional time for journaling. One can only leave a more powerful artist.

 

It's not about creating an "imaginary coffee cup" it's about opening up to a bigger and bolder, more creative you. If you've ever felt that you are holding yourself back creatively this is the one for you. This workshop is open to anyone, actors and non-actors alike.

 

New Dates TBA

 

 

"Memory is a mysterious element, almost indefinable, that links us to things we don't even remember
having lived. But it constantly incites us to stay in contact with dimensions, with events,
sensations, we can't define, but that we know actually happened."

 

-- Federico Fellini
