This comprehensive one day master class is made up of four parts. The first is a lecture and question and answer period. Participants will then each perform the first scene of the day. One group following another without re-direction or comment until all participants have performed. The scene is then discussed and broken down. The third part of the day is a step by step introduction into script breakdown using various tools to expose the spine of the script. The five "w's" are discussed and the scene is beaten word by word, phrase by phrase. The class negotiates it's way through the scene until each moment is dissected and analysed to its fullest. The last part of the day is made up of scene work. The number of scenes performed is dependent on each individual class and its level of comprehension. The day is concluded by another Q&A. All material is given to participants prior to the class. Time: 9.00am - 5.00pm.
