"If you, as I do, prefer to be taught by an individual rather than an institution, and are looking for that individual to be focused, passionate, surprising, demanding, smart, dedicated, confident and creative, then you may have found him."--Laura Wachtel, actor
What makes an actor interesting to watch is her ability to be invested in those with whom she interacts in a scene. This ability to care deeply about characters in an imaginary situation in the way that we care about the people in our lives is the alpha and omega for the actor. An actor who can activate themselves viscerally, that is, in their gut, with respect to the character's priorities, can introduce a commanding urgency into a performance, an urgency that enrapture an audience and holds it captive. In class at Andrew Wood Acting Studio, actors learn to examine a script to unearth the deepest priorities of the characters they will portray, and then to allow those priorities to define and direct their work. The result is work that is impactful, inspiring and memorable. The approach presented in the class makes use of a rich array of disctinctions and concepts to achieve these ends: underlying objective, plot objectives, actions, destinations, transference, personalization, sense-memory, "the path" and many other elements. The class will help actots understand exactly what these tools are and how to use them in a dynamic manner to bring true depth and richness to their work.
