Advanced Solo Performance

 Great solo performance is a combination of compelling content, skillful use of space and design, and charismatic, dynamic acting. In this advanced course, you will have the opportunity to develop your solo work on each of these fronts in the company of a strong ensemble of student artists. Each student will bring 10 minutes of existing solo material (a rehearsed solo piece or simply 10 minutes of text and/or movement) to present in the first class. Over the course of the next five weeks, we will layer in acting/target specificity, creative use of space and architecture, as well as conversations about design, marketing and producing. The class culminates in an evening tech-through and a public performance. Solo Performance and Presentation or permission from the instructor is a pre-requisite for registration.
