Description
Artistic Articulation and Authentic Confidence in Audition Space
with Lisa Li
Aimed at emerging performers, this course uses the environment of a general audition to begin the building blocks of articulating and conducting oneself as an informed and perceptive artist, and demonstrating authentic confidence “in the room”.
Structured like a mock general audition for the Tarragon Theatre, participants will learn about the experience of a general audition from beginning to end. Topics covered: audition etiquette, conduct in the room, how to articulate about oneself as an individual, and then as an artist, talk through and discuss ones artistic statement, what you can expect from the panel at a general audition, resume and headshot feedback, as well as pre- and post-audition protocol. Participants will be asked to prepare two contrasting contemporary monologues from plays written by Canadian Playwrights, bring a hardcopy of resume, and headshot (both will be returned back to the participant for reuse at the end of the class).
Participants will be asked to perform their pieces but will not be critiqued or put through exercises related to their acting work. The work of this course will focus in on everything BUT the monologues and through the guiding principal that each artist is an entrepreneur and you are the CEO of your own business.
How to Enroll:
