What goes on in an Acting Class?
An acting class allows the actor to try new things without the pressure of deadlines and audience expectations. It also allows the actor the opportunity to observe others as they experiment and make new discoveries. It's "play" at its best. Each week we will do a series of exercises chosen to offer us a new skill or a new perspective that we can use immediately in our next audition or our next rehearsal period. Topics include creating a character, endowing your location, creating a relationship, and the use of rehearsal props. There isn't any homework, but if people would like to tackle a monologue we will be discussing how to choose and prepare a monologue for the purposes of auditions or simply as an exercise to pull together all you'll be learning in class. Each class is cumulative so regular attendance is recommended.
A minimum of 6 participants is required to run the program. Maximum participants: 10.
Meet Scott Hurst
A survivor of 48 years in professional and community theatre, Scott has earned a living as an actor, singer, dancer, director, writer and producer, and his resume includes seasons at the Stratford Festival, Charlottetown Festival, Blyth Festival, Thousand Islands Playhouse, and National Arts Centre. Locally he is known for his extensive work with The South Simcoe Theatre, Kempenfelt Community Players, Talk is Free Theatre, Theatre by the Bay, Huronia Players, and the Orillia Sunshine Festival. A firm believer that actors can learn more in a few weeks of classes than they usually can in three months of rehearsals, he encourages friends and colleagues to take classes as often as possible with a wide range of teachers and facilitators. He's very happy to be able to offer affordable group classes and individual coaching again in Simcoe County.
