AN ONLINE COURSE ON SCRIPT ANALYSIS DEMYSTIFY SCRIPT BREAKDOWNS Breaking down scripts can feel arduous for most actors. Script analysis often feels like a piece of homework. It makes total sense then that actors don’t really feel like doing it much. The thing is, the script is the singular most important document for everyone working on a film project. Ranging from the producers and financiers to the production assistants and the people building the set, the script is central in the proper execution of the film project. So you as an actor, really have no choice. And why is it anyway that so many actors feel either a sense of dread, panic or boredom when it comes to working with it? The answer, it seems, is that many actors are not taught how to work with texts in order to glean from them what they need. Heard of objectives, super objectives and intentions? Confused about where to find them and how to understand them? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed when told to come up with a character’s ‘backstory’? Or do you feel unsure about what the other characters in the story may mean to one particular character? What if you were to find out that most of the above is in fact not needed. What if you were told that there was a way you could uncover a great heap of the vital information you needed to play a character just by reading the text differently? This course aims to do just that. Simply put, to teach you to read scripts as if they were blue-prints and not merely stories. In this way you have access to maximum information about who your character is; information that you most likely previously would not even have noticed. GAIN MASTERY OVER SCRIPT ANALYSIS In this course we focus on screenplays and get to work on scripts from a variety of films you have most likely watched and enjoyed. The first few weeks focus of the Script Analysis Course deliver to you our powerful scene breakdown method. In the weeks that follow, we practice analysing scripts from different genres and styles giving you great insight into the writer’s own mind. Through vibrant class discussions, engaging homework tasks and the tutor’s feedback, you’ll come to see the script as a place for possibilities, imagination and pure artistry.

AN ONLINE COURSE TEACHING YOU HOW TO WORK WITH SCRIPTS FROM SCRIPT ANALYSIS TO CHARACTER EMBODIMENT USING BECK EMOTIONAL ACCESS TECHNIQUE An actor’s work with the script begins in analysis. However it must end with performance. But how exactly does one move from the information gained during the breakdown phase to embodiment of the character? It is certainly not a straightforward process and it involves a number of steps. When we are talking about embodiment we mean that our bodies and our emotional instruments must be engaged. So, one way to think about this is that we are moving from the cerebral realm (our understanding of the character) to the physical and emotional. The technique developed by the studio’s founder Beck Emotional Access Technique or BEAT for short bridges this gap between the realm of thoughts and understanding, the physical world of behaviour and the internal emotional world which only you experience but of course we, the audience, sense. BEAT has revolutionising actor training by bridging these realms through a set of intuitive exercises known as the BEAT Scales. Actors trained in this technique find it easy to not only access emotions safely, but to also make fine adjustments which lead to deep and nuanced performances. Over the course of 5 weeks, we deliver powerful technique for character embodiment to help you leave behind confusion, uncertainty and approximation. Instead, you will feel empowered through a no nonsense approach that puts you, the feeling body, in the centre. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * To join this course you will need at least intermediate acting skills. Good script analysis skills are presumed. * BEGINNING ACTORS: Consider doing the T102 Script Analysis Course. You will benefit much more from the present course if you are well equipped with sound script analysis skills. * INTERMEDIATE & EXPERIENCED ACTORS: This course is recommend for you! Actors who completed T102, the present course is designed to pick up from where you last left off! KEY POINTS * 5 WEEK COURSE, 5 X 2HR WEEKLY CLASS (TOTAL 10HRS) * SMALL GROUP (MAX 10 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED LIVE OVER GOOGLE MEET * CLASSES AVAILABLE TO WATCH BACK WHILE THE COURSE IS RUNNING * 40% THEORY, 60% PRACTICE/HOMEWORK PLAYBACK Acting happens when the decisions and choices you made in your analysis are ‘converted’ into behaviour and emotions. FAY BECK LEARNING OUTCOMES * Framed an understanding of how text and the script affect characterisation * Introduction to Beck Emotional Access Technique (BEAT) * Opportunity to work with Feedback and revise performance * Practiced key exercises designed to extend your grasp of the performance * Learnt to apply BEAT Scales to adjust performance COURSE TERMS APRIL 26TH, MAY 3RD, MAY 10TH, MAY 24TH, MAY 31ST 5 FRIDAYS IN APRIL AND MAY Join us from any timezone around the world.

AN IN PERSON WORKSHOP TO HELP YOU CREATE GENUINE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION Emotional Connection may feel out of easy reach for many people. Especially today. Many social factors have contributed to this unfortunate outcome. Building and maintaining relationships with strong emotional ties requires openness, vulnerability and trust. Importantly, it requires a willingness to open up, share and discuss negative characteristics about one another. Increasingly, today, we are encouraged to remain ‘positive’ and to stay away from whoever or whatever makes us feel uncomfortable. In addition, other social pressures exist that impel us to refrain from broaching difficult subjects with people we are connected to. While it is crucial that we remain protected from painful behaviours and people, deciding to steer away from all negativity causes us to shut down. In time, our tolerance for hurt and pain shrinks, which means our capacity for emotional connection diminishes. And so we become detached from ourselves and from each other and like one of millions of Britons, we experience crippling loneliness and intense feelings of isolation. We can’t really have one without the other though. Our approach is based on helping individuals to rebuild their immense and beautiful capacity for emotional intimacy while also encouraging & fostering personal and psychological safety. We use a set of exercises that are canonical in training actors to deepen emotional connection on stage and screen. You will feel empowered to open up and & become vulnerable with others. The exercises are emotionally ‘light’ and yet powerful. You will not be asked or required to share anything personal. We will work with your imagination, your powers of make believe and ‘creatively play’ in order to show you how you embody changes to help you connect truthfully and genuinely. Overall, the workshop is designed to grow emotional awareness and to provide you with the tools to enable trust, emotional resilience and an expanded capacity for vulnerability which you can use and apply to any relationship whether social, professional or more intimate. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * There are no pre-requisites nor any requirements to join this Workshop! KEY POINTS * One Day Workshop, (TOTAL 6HRS) * SMALL GROUP (MAX 10 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED IN-PERSON IN OUR LONDON BASED STUDIO * 30% THEORY, 70% PRACTICE LEARNING OUTCOMES * Raise self-awareness around Emotional Connection * Acquire & Apply Emotional Intelligence tools * Understanding and supporting Emotional Intimacy * Increase capacity for experiencing and expressing emotions * Learning and application of safe methods to access & share emotions * Provide you with the tools to enable trust and encourage greater openness COURSE TERMS MAY 11TH, 10AM-5PM (includes breaks totalling 1hr) Address: FAY BECK STUDIO 4 Feather Mews, LONDON, E1 1DH
