The Green Room Workshop

UNDERSTANDING ME...THE ACTOR, THE ROLE, THE INDIVIDUAL

This workshop will give actors perspective on how a clearer understanding of SELF gives actors a clearer understanding of their CHARACTERS. Our personalities, experiences, and patterns have everything to do with our character choices as we develop each ROLE we portray. Often ACTORS relate our personal victories, failures, accomplishments and tragedies to the journeys of our characters. But how can ACTORS successfully channel those emotions when developing a character, when INDIVIDUALS work so hard to mask, hide, and cover our emotions in our daily lives? When you have a clear understanding of yourself...it gives you a clear understanding of the role that you're portraying.
