| Every character, just like every person, has an “expectation” of how their day will go based on patterns established over time. What they want to achieve in any given moment is called their “objective.” This objective might be to convince a teacher for a better grade, or to ask someone out on a date, or possibly convince mom and dad to let you go to a sleepover or a concert. A good scene must have an objective, but it must also have conflict – something that gets in between the character’s objective and the reality they are confronting. This is what the audience pays to see: the moments where all the elements culminate in either comedic chaos or a dramatic explosion in a highly charged environment. When an unforeseen conflict occurs, the character must navigate either around, over or through whatever is keeping them from achieving their objective. When a detour appears, how will your character adjust? Do you give up, fight or work to find a possible solution? Learn how to raise the stakes by committing to the expectations, objectives and conflicts that your character is facing. Learn how by making specific choices, your performance will soar! In between, the first and second weekend, students and their partners will meet with John for additional scene rehearsal. On the final day, students will perform scenes (partner style) in front of industry guests and receive invaluable feedback! |
