12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
This is a chance to work with director Adam Cook on the creative process of breaking down and working on a script. This will be particularly useful for actors who do a lot of self tests when there is not a lot of time to prepare. Four actors will work on two scenes from American theatre – Miller’s A View from the Bridge and one from Annie Baker’s The Flick. The four successful actors will need to use their US accent and know the scene well but don’t need to learn it. Please note: There will be other actors observing (auditing) this class. Unsuccessful applicants will be sent a Zoom link to observe this class. This event will take place at from 12-1.30pm Australian Eastern Standard NSW/VIC/QLD/TAS time and 2-3.30pm NZ time.
