Professional Master
Class
For the Professional Actor. The Master Class is for
the performer whose training is at the highest level.
Each class consists of three parts.
The FIRST is Ms. Templeton's "Acting
Barre," a series of exercises developed to stretch
and strengthen acting muscles (from opening up the
emotional life to recreating a real life person as a
character).
In the SECOND part of class, the actor
is trained to work quickly on camera with cold
audition scenes. He then works on the same
scene at home (with his own camera) to deepen his
craft onscreen. All camera work is played back
on our 10 foot movie screen.
In the THIRD part of class, actors
are trained to prepare on their own, i.e. script
analysis, sensory, and substitutions. They then
work on stage with the other actors, under Penny
Templeton as director. This will follow the same
rehearsal process as a professional theater
environment. The purpose is to create "Acting Lions":
actors whose technique and training gives them the
tools to be artistically fierce performers.
