The Acting Intensives, Meisner Technique, Intensives at Gately Poole Conservatory

THE GATELY/POOLE CONSERVATORY ACTING INTENSIVES

The Acting Intensives are a total immersion into the craft of acting. The standards which the students are expected to meet are high and reflect a level of professionalism which is characteristic of all aspects of the school.

The faculty is generous, supportive, and responsive to the individual needs of each student. Individual coaching is available if a student is struggling in one of the classes, and the instructors co-teach several of the workshops to further integrate the various parts of the program.

The goal of the intensives is solid, comprehensive training combined with a positive and exciting environment. Truthful, compelling, and imaginative performances are the goals of the school. By the end of the workshop, each actor will have grown far beyond his expectations.

Acting Intensives offered:
~ Four Day Intensive ~ Two Week Intensive ~Three Week Intensive

Students work 8-10 hours each day, 5-6 days per week, with a national and internationally known faculty. Acting classes meet twice a day and include: voice, speech, movement, on-camera acting, action workshops, and scene study.

Systematic series of exercises are used:

to build a solid technique
to live in the imaginary world
to use oneself truthfully
to be full emotionally
to be effortless, spontaneous and responsive to others

The difficult yet exciting process of script and character work is used:

to analyze a text

to reveal the meanings through specific behavior

The classes in Film and Television use these techniques to bring authentic and truthful acting to the screen.
