Re-Purposing Suzuki: A Hybrid Approach to Actor Training
The Workshop Series
WORKSHOP 1:
Creating a Physical Score
This introductory workshop will guide participants through a process of creating a physical score sourced in the physical principles from the Suzuki method of actor training. The session will begin with an overview of the training and how to extrapolate physical principles from the forms to create a physical score.
This session is limited to 15 participants.
WORKSHOP 2:
Sourcing the Physical Score
This next level workshop will demonstrate how to source the actions that make up the physical score from imagery and personal sources taken from text. This workshop is the first in a series that introduces Porter’s unique method of ‘physical text analysis,’ a hybrid technique sourced in the Suzuki method, using elements of Stanislavski and other psychologically based practices.
Pre-requisite: Workshop 1 or prior experience with Porter’s technique.
