Listen, react, respond...

The Actor's job is to do all of these... truthfully, and in the process, to remain present, in the moment, whether on camera or onstage - to be aware and available.

The question is: HOW?

This workshop covers the vocabulary and practice of Viewpoints (for more info on The Viewpoints as taught by The Steppenwolf, click here) and incorporates improvisation to give actors tools applicable in all aspects of their craft: auditions, rehearsals, live theatre, and on-camera work. It's all about process, about discovery, about finding out how each artist works. Check out Eric Hunicutt online.
