Intermediate Acting Class March 1st to 26th, 2016 ------------->
Theatre Movement Class Level 2: Feb 24th to Mar 20th, 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> |
Welcome to The Arena.
We offer month long classes for actors seeking to start focused training, building community with like-minded individuals and/or simply getting an acting workout. Our classes are focused on the technical understanding and process engagement of the actor who has been given material to prepare. The process for each week in any given month differ greatly from one another because students are given a complete low-down of each aspect of scene preparation; scene breakdown/analysis, emotional preparation and focus to attain complete commitment to their characters' actions.
The Arena believes in process engagement and we are NOT result-oriented. We believe in a complete commitment to process and personal development in order to achieve the most growth one can as an actor, the result is simply a by-product of the work and not our main goal. Result-orientation can lend itself to bypassing the journey required to effectively develop a professional skill-set, it can hurt our growth, passion and discipline as artists in sneaky ways. It can also enable our egos to stand in the way of our artistry which is pretty much a global epidemic in the entertainment industry.
So forget certification and honour knowledge and experience. Shirk off recognition and embody your own unique creative soul. Leave your ego at the door and embrace self-acceptance. The world needs you to tell stories to understand itself better, it always has, so come in and learn how.
We look forward to your warm presence.
PS- Oh and auditing is completely free! :D
