Okay so I decided it was time to bring back “Prof.’s House”. I run a few companies (Photography, Theatrical, Film/Video, Ministerial) so I thought it best to share via video what is happening with the various projects I am working on.
Last week I started teaching an Acting Class at my studio space in Harlem, NYC. It is a Basic/Intermediate Class for Adults. I truly had not intended on teaching an acting class this year. It came via request and I am very happy it did.
We had 12 brave students step up to the plate last Thursday to work on their craft. The students were very enthusiastic and cooperative. It was a pleasure to see them use new muscles and go through the uncomfortableness of the exercises.
My main focus was to steer away from using words. Too often people equate acting with talking. So a majority of the exercises I used required no words from the students. This forced them to listen and to observe. The 90 minutes went by quickly yet we were able to work.
Later that night after class I had a few students contact me regarding how much they enjoyed the class. That is always a great thing to hear as a teacher.
Class #2 is tonight. Let’s see how much fun we will have.
Bent on doing things his own way, the Prodigal Son took his inheritance early & spent it like he just won the lotto. This chorus from Bobby Brown was in his heart while he was wilding out:
“Everybody’s talking all this stuff about me, Y don’t they just let me live, I don’t need permission, Make my own decisions, That’s my prerogative”
