How we approach the work is everything! We make it about the acting work and personal growth and not the individual performance. We look for the truth inside ourselves. We learn self-acceptance and self-compassion. Every character you channel demands you to reveal something about yourself, to expose something very human, very real.
Scene Study is a deep sea dive into the human collective heart. The character sets the actor free! We let go of our personal judgment and ego and learn to empathize and walk the path of another human being with compassion. We explore deeply within ourselves for the authenticity and humanity required to breathe life into character.
To create the humanity necessary for the acting role, you abandon resistance to your personal truth, which creates a portal into universal truth. This always leads to something rich and hidden inside yourself, something you can then use to give your character life.
I employ an approach that nurtures and supports your individual process. I will ask questions and guide you, rather than give too many answers. I’m interested in personal and spiritual growth through the character and scene. Therefore, the work is holistic, personal, and cathartic.
We explore the character in every way. We improvise and work the scenes fully and completely. Truth is our motto. Passion is our connection. Love for the work is our path.
The environment of this acting class is intense, passionate, and committed to the work. Cindy welcomes an intimate group of only six to eight actors and her assistant. This affords her to give you lots of attention and support.
The material and character are specifically chosen for each individual student by Cindy personally.
