“I would need everybody to have a character and an “off the book” speech at hand. Could be a monologue. An audition speech etc. The work we will be doing will be in line with the performance you need to look at. You can aslo use this speech as an overall look at your acting skills. We will begin by giving a technique session which will by itself use the fundamental principals of movement by connecting to the body’s musculature and dynamic vocabulary. In short, the body’s design.”
