This one year professional acting training conservatory program is designed for Barrow Group students who are well versed in our approach and tools, to further supplement and expand their training.
The first portion of the program focuses on training in voice, movement, dialect, transformation work via scene study, and performance.
The second portion of the program focuses on film and television performance and production. Student will create content under the guidance of a professional production team.
Prerequisite: Students must have completed a One Year Professional Acting Program or by invite only.
We are now accepting applications for the 2019/2020 Program starting in September 2019.
The year begins with students exploring physical and vocal exercises designed to loosen and free the voice and body so that they can communicate with clarity, spontaneity and power. Students also work with the fundamentals of improvisation, which is an integral element of The Barrow Group approach. Next, students explore movement via Alexander Technique, as a straight-forward set of principals are introduced about how we think, move and breathe. These elements are combined to work on transformation exercises via scene study.
Classes:voice for the actor, improv, Alexander Technique, scene study
Winter
The program continues with expansion of skills by adding dialect, stage combat, and theatrical clown work to play with our own unique ridiculousness, which in turn may transform our habits of restriction into skills of open expression. The culmination of this training is a scene sharing of transformational scenes in the TBG Studio Theatre.
Classes: dialects, theatrical clown, stage combat writing, scene study, scene sharing and film/tv content creation.
Spring
