Atlantic Acting School: Open House and Free Workshop

This three-hour workshop will introduce theater artists to the Atlantic Acting School and the Practical Aesthetics Technique. Practical Aesthetics is the essential technique for knowing how to pick up a script and make clear, confident choices that transforms the text on the page into a compelling and complex performance to hold the audience’s attention and illuminate the story of the scene. Practical Aesthetics combines this simple and effective analysis process with a range of impulse exercises to help to “think before you act so you can act before you think.”
