Induction is a starting point for any new member regardless of experience. Starting 4 weeks of classes of Homework & Studio, it takes place on a Wednesday and Thursday evening at 7 PM for approximately two hours, the session is longer as it starts with an opening talk.
Over the two evenings the opening talk, alongside the demonstration/practice/discussion of both basic relaxation and a sense memory exercise, will give you a practical and also creative understanding of the core dynamics of the Method. This now gives you the means to engage the Homework/Studio unit which follows for the following three weeks.
Evening 1. Opening Talk & Intro to Basic Relaxation
Evening 2. Recap. Intro to Sense Memory
Wednesday 7 pm – 9.30 pm
Starts with an opening talk about the background and purpose of the exercises, tools and techniques developed by Lee Strasberg building from the works of Konstantin Stanislavski. Then the first exercise, known as basic relaxation will be demonstrated. Which you then will do under instruction and follow up after with a discussion and pointers for practice.
Thursday 7 pm – 9.30 pm
The first 2 sense-memory exercises will be instructed and covered, at present, you will remain working in the chair by yourself on the course dynamics of the exercise, focusing on how to bring truthful inspiring thought, impulse and emotion into play for the text & character.
