💻 LIVE ON ZOOM! 💻

When we have the emotional courage to explore and experience the internal life of our character, we are able to take our audience on a journey into the unknown, to let them experience the character’s world. 🌎

This lecture examines and explores some of the concepts and vocabulary we use to understand the difference between internal and external, and how those concepts apply to acting.

Internal contemplation:
🌟 Living
🌟 Passion and need
🌟 Emotion
🌟 Empathy
🌟 Instinctive – heart and soul

External contemplation:
🌟 Watching
🌟 Desire and want
🌟 Feeling
🌟 Sympathy
🌟 Intellectual – mind

It is never about “playing an emotion” or “having a feeling”. It’s about having an instrument that is ready to serve the script, and create the fiction, through a unique, living human being.

COST: $30
DATE: Thursday, December 12th at 4pm PT
