"MASTER CLASS" actors need to be of a proven standard to attend this class. AN AUDITION MAY BE NECESSARY.

This is a class for actors who have a functioning active performance process in place. They must be able to move freely between choices that deliver a clear story outcome and be able to change character (the nature of the person) efficiently within seconds. They need to comfortably play turning points in the story with clarity, respond truthfully to impulses and deliver moments of surprise. They must, of course, be able to LISTEN actively.

THE MASTER CLASS AIMS:- To explore, test and expand the acting process of the actors in the group. Using challenging scenes the actors will explore rehearsal process, impulse work and internal monologue. Actors are not only working towards being proficient but their AIM IS TO STANDOUT.

PARTICIPATING ACTORS NEED TO BE PREPARED TO:

• Seek out and supply scenes to work on with the group
• Contribute to the structure and development of the class
• Actively self-assess performance process as well as contribute to the assessment of others

THE FINAL CLASS IS DIRECTED BY AN EXPERIENCED GUEST DIRECTOR - previous participants have been Daina Reid, Jean-Pierre Mignon (Neighbours), Fiona Banks (Dr Blake Mysteries, Winners & Losers), Grant Brown (House Husbancs); Greg Carroll, Declan Eames, Andrew, Prowse, Richard Jasek (Produder Neighbours): Denny Lawrence (Director/Producer Screentime/ABC, JNP Films); Peter Dodds (Producer Neighbours); Steve Jodrell (Director McLeod's Daughters, Stingers); Chris Langman (Director Blue Heelers, Neighbours).
