The Acting Process: Enhancing the Creative Process


The Acting Workshop will teach you a specific acting technique to
use in your creative process.  You can use this technique to improvise on story ideas, flesh out
character choices or help define dialogue.  In addition, you can use the technique to refine the iconic or condense storytelling moments in your story.  Whether your piece is serious or comic, these
exercises will give you the tools to create dynamic, authentic animated shorts.
