Learn, rehearse, and perform exciting short scenes from the repertoire of Canadian and world theatre in an intense, creative, and exciting week with Brenda Kamino.
Class time will be devoted to script and character analysis, acting techniques, and scene breakdown—supported by theatre exercises to help the participants make new discoveries in their approaches to acting.
Scenes will be assigned, rehearsed, presented, critiqued, worked, and presented again. You will work with sense memory, emotional recall, improvisation, monologue work, and audition technique to improve self-awareness, expand physical resources, and investigate character. Come and develop skills for improved performance that will last a lifetime.
As one past participant said, “Brenda did an amazing job—she was very successful at making our group work so well together, and made it safe for us to learn and play.”
