Stage Acting for the Musician – Free Workshop
Professeur : Zoe Deveaux
In this class, Acting for the Musician, taught by award winning film director Zoe Deveaux, musicians now have the chance to enliven their performances with stage presence and confidence.
Both music and the theater drive emotion and tell a story, the most essential instrument being your own voice, body, and mind. This course is designed to introduce classical musicians to the fundamentals of acting techniques, enabling them to develop greater expressiveness and authenticity in their performances.
This class will teach students the confidence and craft to perform, all through having fun, playing, and self exploration. Through a combination of theoretical study, practical exercises, and scene work from Shakespeare, Chekhov, and Moliere, students will explore various acting methods and reimagine what it means to be a performer. After this class, the next time you step on stage will feel like never before.
