Acting Class #1 – Jan 2011

Acting Class #1 of 12 – Jan 2011

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.

The Biblical Remix – David Danced

Excited to bring the ark of God (where God’s presence resided) back to Jerusalem, King David led the way by doing his dance before God.

The King set off the procession by playing this Strafe song:

“Y’all want this party started right, Y’all want this party started quickly right, Set it off I suggest y’all…”
