TOURING JAPAN IN MAY 2013

April 10th, 2013

TEACHING SYNOPSIS FOR ACTING AND BUSINESSMEN

G’day everyone, as we say in Australia.

I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching soon at Stone Wings Acting School in Japan. I visited the beautiful country of Japan in 2010 and fell in love with it and with the people. The food is very nice too. Having an interest in Japanese Kabuki and Noh Theatre also attracts me to Japan.

I will be conducting two days of acting classes, one day of classes for businessmen and one day of private tuition classes. All with an interpreter!

ACTING
The acting classes will focus on Australian techniques and on camera training.

My objectives while teaching actors at Stone Wings will be on the following:
* Teaching the student the power of connecting the breathe and the voice within the body, and then connecting this with the text.
* Being able to draw on emotions from within the body and assist the connection of the breathe and the voice with the text.
* Attaching a technique to the text so the student can perform with connection to both themselves and to the text.
* Perform well and with direction.
* Self and teacher analysis of the actors work.
* Focuses on theory and practice while acting on camera.
* What skills do the students know about acting on camera? What messages are they getting across?
* What skills do they need to know to improve their work?
* The introduction of 14 major points to help the actors work on camera.
* Through practical exercises, actors will work on their taught skills with a script and in front of the camera.
* Skills are addressed and worked on as they perform with script.
* Self and teacher analysis of the actors work.

BUSINESS
My objectives for teaching businessmen will be on the following:
* Introducing the student to group and self-analysis of the barriers that exist in business in their culture and working on ways to do things better.
* Introducing the student to self – empowerment!
* Teaching the student the power of connecting the breathe and the voice within the body, and then connecting this with the text.
* Being able to draw on emotions from within the body and assist the connection of the breathe and the voice with the text.
* Working on the voice of the businessman.
* Working on the power of presentation utilizing creativity and human emotion.
* Working on the importance of questioning and the senses and body language in business.
* introducing the student to what I call THE TEN CATEGORIES OF GROWTH –they are:
• Goal setting and implementation, includes strategic marketing
• What are the things I can do to help me grow in business in Japan
• Body Language
• Breathe and Voice, including language / vocabulary
