North Miami Beach, Florida: Teen Actor Master Class

 

“This workshop re-awakened that drive in me to notice everything and take nothing for granted. I was alerted to the fact that humanity is infinitely beautiful and infinitely changing. I want to fall in love with humanity again, I want humanity to fall in love with itself. Theater can do just that” Danielle

 

“This weekend I learned that it is important to be conscious and aware of our surroundings at all times. We must keep our eyes, ears, heart and soul open to all the things around us. This then will surely make our lives and our art that much more spectacular.” Sara

“I learned that you can never assume. I learned that you can’t go into a scene pre-determining how you’re going to say a line because you never know if your partner will act in such a way to cause that reaction in you. I learned that it is easier to receive from your fellow actor when you really notice what they actually do.” Ale

   

"I learned that I need to find the character inside myself rather than trying to imitate a character. I also learned that I have to be awake and receptive to my co-actors and I have to feed off what they do in the scene for the scene to be believable to the audience." Maria

"I learned how to become very sensitive to whatever my attention is directed at, so that this relationship will be very acute and alive." Yael

"I learned that the words don't matter but the feelings and emotions behind them do. The most important thing I learned this weekend is the idea that you are your character, that whatever part I am playing, that part is actually inside of me." Josh

"I learned how to not be controlling and how to let go of thinking about the past and the future." Helen
