HELP is here! Finally a Christian drama workshop just for your fellowship, your start up drama team and for your veteran performers.
"It was amazing how much you covered in just one day!"
"you summed a whole year's college drama class in one day."
The Acting Naturally drama workshop is designed to demonstrate that acting on stage is the most naturally of things. We have been "acting" most of our lives but just don’t call it that. Acting Naturally is uniquely formulated to be effective for the start up, struggling or advanced drama group. Here is the major tune up for your drama special, or taking your dramatist to their next level.

All sessions include practical participation to insure assimilation. Learn/review the basics, then stretch your imagination with challenging exercises and Master Class style critiques for the novice or veteran. A complete notebook is provided for you to copy for each participant to facilitate and for reference.

Session 1: Approximately 2 hours of training to review theory, improv, and practical exercises. Practical exercises that should be included as a must-do for every drama group. When all else fails, back to the basics. Not only should the veteran review and exercise, but of course the new members must be introduced to time proven methods to develop the inner performer. As a wonderful benefit this session unites the drama group, working together on the same level, and diminishes potential clics.

Session 2:
Approximately 2 hours of character development. A step-by-step learning experience of assembling the character right out of thin air. Perhaps one of the most mysterious of processes is now broken in to an A-B-C approach that is guaranteed to facilitate character development. The approach will provide an opportunity for each participant to experience the process personally through demonstration after development.

Session 3:
The Master Class. Also approximately 2 hours. The best for the last with very good reasoning. Taking the elements of the first two sessions and using them to dissect short vignettes with a carefully lead class participation critique session. This is a most enlightening, engaging, educational and challenging dramatic experience that will have the entire class sensing they have just graduated to their next level. Several will volunteer as test case performers and typically are amazed at their own improvement within the first few moments.

Session 3:
(Alternate) The Master Class Director’s Session can be used as a fine-tuning process for your specific drama presentation. This is a direct practical approach with more of a director’s role applied to your presentation. It is intended to give your director and/or drama group a very hands on experience, through intense scene study, to insure your drama is filled with energy, clarity and purpose.
