METHOD ACTING FOR ADULTS
ABOUT THE COURSE:
What is this mysterious craft called ‘Method Acting’? Is it really the magic behind all great actors? But what is the secret? Taught by one of Dubai’s leading acting teachers, Alex Broun, this class will explore the four great “acting methods”: Constantin Stanislavski, Sanford Meisner, Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler.
Over the first four weeks of the course one session will be dedicated to exploring each of these four methods. You will learn about all four of these techniques, which are used by many of the world’s leading actors, and discover which “method” works best for you.
In the second four weeks you will have a chance to use these techniques and apply them to stage and screen scenes which you will rehearse with a scene partner. The course finishes with a showcase where you will present the scenes you have worked on to an invited audience of family and friends at SIMA. The scenes are also filmed so you will have a record of your performance.
