Visceral Acting w/Arthur Simone
(begins March 7, 2010, email arthur@arthursimone.com for questions)
Arthur Simone (voted Best Actor in Austin Chronicle's 2009 Reader's Poll) understands performance and how to cut to the core of what characters want. After a career studying Stanislavsky, Strasberg, Meisner, Hagen, Adler, and more improv theorists than you can shake a stick at, he's emerged with a deep appreciation for visceral, honest, motivation-driven acting. Classes use monologues and scene study to filter characters through a tunnel vision that informs 99.9% of what happens.
A graduate of Oberlin College and a veteran of the Chicago stage with Suspicious Clowns and Moving Dock Theatre, Arthur Simone is a co-founder of Austin's improv powerhouse ColdTowne Theater, where he teaches sketch, improv, and acting. On the screen, Arthur has appeared in Jigsaw, The Evil One, A&E's Faith of My Fathers, Big Momma's House 2, and has been featured on the series Friday Night Lights. Most recently, Arthur won critical acclaim and praise for his original one-man show Dear Frailty. He's also been a past winner of the O. Henry Pun-Off World, Austin's regional Air Guitar Championship, and the Alamo Drafthouse's Air Sex World Championship.
-Class Size Limited to 10 (intermediate to advanced experience encouraged
-Sundays 12-3 (tentative) at ColdTowne Theater, 4803B Airport Blvd in Austin
-$225 (1/2 for deposit), go here for enrollment: http://www.arthursimone.com/class.html
"Arthur is as obsessively focused on creating emotional immediacy in your performance as he is in his own. If you'll give him back even a fraction of the commitment he brings to every class, he'll make you a better actor." -John Ratliff
