MICHAEL MARGOTTA / SEMINARS 2020
ONLINE WRITING / ACTING SEMINAR - The Divine, the Material, Violence and the Irrational in Character Development
Acting, writing, directing are all processes of discovery. We have to be willing to say: "We are all here to undergo a communion, to find out what the hell is going on in this World." If you are not willing to say that, what you get is entertainment instead of Art, and poor entertainment at that. We need new scenarios that raise moral, psychological and social questions. Actors must feel this responsibility.
THE COURSE
In this WRITING course we want to help Actors think about human behavior in dramatic terms. The purpose is to explore new narratives through character development, considering shape, structure, focus, intention and logic.
Each session features exercises; to listen, to concentrate, to flex our muscles, to help us use our intuition and think instantly.
In the end we want characters who are real and alive and believable, exploring all aspects of writing in the process: research, content, context, conflict, action, dramatic premise, genre, structure, dialogue.
