This Intensive will be rooted in allowing freedom to return. Telling “good, bad, right, wrong” to take a hike and inviting our primary emotions of feeling “mad, sad, glad, lonely, scared” to take hold and reveal what we are doing rather than “deciding” what to do.

Your actions become embedded choices rising from core emotions. All you need already resides within you.

Acting is doing…nothing exists without trusting our instincts.

How do we turn off critical thinking and respond truthfully? We quiet the mind, breathe deep, and drop into our emotional, physical feeling bodies. We surrender to our instincts and give ourselves permission to PLAY.

Show up with a 60-90 second monologue. Something from a classical or contemporary play. Maybe a piece from a favorite short story, the lyrics of a song…or from film or television. Please refrain from working with self-written material.

Send me your chosen monologue ASAP or let me know if you need help finding one.  kirk@kirkbaltz.com

We will make discoveries with your monologue, then pair up and develop improvised scenes while working with text. A foundational technique for actors to embrace.

ON OUR FINAL DAY YOUR SCENE  WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY SHOT TO CREATE A DEMO REEL OR ADD TO AN ALREADY EXISTING ONE 

Gift yourself the experience of letting go of all you’ve held so precious, while embracing what you’ve dismissed as meaning so little.

You’re enough.
