WEEKEND INTENSIVE MASTER CLASS: SCRIPT ANALYSIS & BACKSTORY with Deborah Aquila

These Intensives are held once every couple of months, over a two-day period. Deborah Aquila leads examinations of the principles of script analysis as applicable to the everyday audition experience through student-presented scene assignments.

Using this specific plan of action will deepen your backstory, which will enhance your choices during the presentation of your audition.

Discovering what is behind the words is a collaborative effort that starts with you and the author.

This technique, this process will provide the tools for you to be fully present as you deliver an alive, spontaneous and memorable audition.

Actors will be given material beforehand in preparation for the course.

Actors will have the opportunity to view their work after class.

“It’s not about tricks, it’s about CRAFT.”
