This course will give students the tools and skills to develop a character either from the outside in, using movement, or from the inside out, using the voice. Basing vocal and physical techniques from Kristin Linklater's "Freeing the Natural Voice" and Constantine Stanislavsky's "Building a Character", students will discover the use of their voice and body as instruments for story telling. Class work will focus on both individual and group work, with particular attention given to layering voice and movement with text to create vivid fully developed characters.
