Most articles on the subject will give you all kinds of advice on how to relax. I have seen everything from Yoga, to Meditation, to crystals, to hypnosis, all aimed at helping the actor to relax. However, what I am going to say next will shock you! I don't want you to relax. In fact I want you to harness that natural adrenaline that comes with auditioning and do this instead...

WHAT OTHERS

ARE SAYING

The Communication Method for Actors got national attention when it was featured in Casting Networks News this month

 

During our recent interview with Faith Hibbs-Clark, the casting director mentioned how her background as a deception detection expert played a role in her casting. She even came up with an acting technique called the Communication Method for Actors based on the science behind her former profession. Hibbs-Clark said that through auditioning actors, she saw a need for a science-based approach that helped them deliver consistently strong performances, rather than leaving it up to chance.

The world's leading Science-based Acting Method

 

The Communication Method for Actors (CMFA) is an acting method that utilizes the science of psychology and the art of communication to help actors reach their optimum outcomes. It is an outside-in approach that focuses more on how the actor is perceived than how the actor feels. Unlike other acting methods, this method is less concerned with character immersion, back story, or how the actor themselves feels in the role but instead puts the onus on how the actor is perceived.  Therefore, actors are encouraged to encode and reverse engineer their performances with body language and to use scientific concepts that will help to evoke feelings in the mind of the receiver

JUST ANNOUNCED!

Pima Theatre presents

A 1940'S RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

December 4 at 7 pm

$10 Minimum Donation

donations up to full-time tuition (12 credits - $1,044)

Donations are accepted at the Pima Foundation website. All monies raised support the Achievement Award, which provides assistance to incoming theatre students to help pay for tuition.

Join Pima Arts Alumni for a one night only production of A 1940's Radio Christmas Carol. Alumni Guest Artists include, Alexis Burrows, Gaby De Brequet, Maria Gawne, Todd Thompson, Erin Thompson and David Zinke. Several alums are pulling double duty: Maria Gawne (Director), Music Director Alexis Burrows (Music Director) and Andrea Pratt (Producer) create a concert-style format that is socially distanced.

Storyline: It's Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are preparing for a live radio broadcast of their own version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Complicated by noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, and the over-the-top theatrics of their special guest, the broadcast takes a hilarious turn when the performers are forced to improvise a hysterically unusual ending in order to "save the show." 

Featuring swing arrangements of Christmas standards and four original songs, A 1940's Christmas Carol is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud piece that will give you all the holiday feels you have been craving.

DEEP DIVE INTO THE HIP-HOP WORLD OF HOPES, DREAMS AND LOVE

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

Arizona Theatre Company

The Arizona Theatre Company's stage has always had a welcoming spot for jazz, blues and country music. Now ATC's artistic director Sean Daniels brings our theatrical pop culture experience up to date with a play reading of “The Realness,” presented online in the COVID-prompted virtual format.

Described as a work in progress and originally sub-titled “a break beat play,” playwright Idris Goodwin takes us straight into the hip-hop heart of young T.O. (Terrell Donnell Sledge), a New York teen who grew up living for the true-grit ideals of the rapper's lifestyle.

The twist is, T.O. comes from wealthy black parents who raised him in a comfortable white suburb. He also has a trust fund...much to T.O.'s own chagrin.

 We are in the school year 1996-97, and this congenial lad identifies with the hard core gangster sounds of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

The deaths of Tupac and B.I.G. become show-stoppers during the play, forcing T.O. to re-see with new eyes his own chosen lifestyle.

Two women play strong roles in “The Realness.” The street-wise Prima (Analisa Velez) is beginning to attract attention on the ambitious amateur level among the city's hip-hop artists. She dreams of getting signed to her own record deal, to become just like her vaguely-defined boyfriend Lord Style (Marcus John), who thinks of himself as being a few rungs higher up the ladder.

Professor Brown (Moya Angela) is the iron-willed college journalism teacher who pushes T.O. to keep looking deeper, searching for his true self, and his own music, instead of letting the music that's already popular define him.

Completing the cast is Hector Flores, Jr. playing several smaller roles. The most touching is Ray, another eager teen. Ray has a severe stuttering problem, except when he starts rapping. Then he becomes a giant.

“The Realness” is being polished into a gem with many facets. It isn't about the music, exactly, or the struggle to be heard, exactly, or to need to identify oneself, exactly. All those elements are in this swirl of competing ideas, grasping like so many hands to reach a different way out.

Goodwin the playwright isn't about to start picking winners and losers among them. Prima still won't let her heart rule her head and T.O. is more than happy to lie, cheat, steal and do whatever else it takes to have Prima for his own.

All the while, Prof. Brown is toiling in the background, believing her job is to create and graduate an entirely new generation of young black people cable of shaping their own talents, breaking free of limitations others put on them.

Each of the people we meet has a defining scene and a different story. The play might not change your opinion of hip-hop, but your view of life's future possibilities will surely broaden.

While the virtual format online is limiting, the production by this cast brings value to ATC's reputation. No tickets are necessary to watch “The Realness.” Donations are appreciated to help keep the doughty theater company moving into 2021.

Go to arizonatheatre.org and follow the prompts. “The Realness” will be available online until 5 p.m. Nov. 22.

TCAF6 is a wrap, and we enjoyed bringing you three days of comedy last week. It was so much fun to catch up with some of our out of town friends, do a workshop, and just hang out with performers and talk comedy.  We thank everyone who pledged to TCAF to keep the theater going.  We raised $575 dollars over the weekend, and all of it goes to paying our rent as we continue to remain closed during the pandemic.  If you didn't get to send some bucks our way last week and still want to contribute to TIM, you can still make a TCAF Pledge to help keep the theater going.  Every dollar helps us make it another month.  We also had over 20 orders at the new TIM Online Store, you can check our all of our new merch, and get the limited edition TCAF6 shirt designed by Ian Crombie.  It won't be around forever, so order yours today!

So now we settle back into a regular schedule.  We will continue to bring you online comedy every Friday night at 7 pm on our Facebook Live, with our Digital Edition Teams.  Tonight make sure you don't miss the homeroom bell at 7pm as Dawson's One Tree River Hills 85705 takes us back to the 90s for some High School Drama.  We are continuing to look at how we can get back to in person classes and shows in a safe way, but we need everyone to mask up and stay socially distanced because with all of the cases going up in Tucson, that in person event looks further and further away.  Stay safe and thank you for the continued support!
