IMPROV ACTING MASTERCLASS WITH VINCENT WARD

IMPROV ACTING MASTERCLASS WITH VINCENT WARD

Waifilmfest is delighted to present this Improv Acting Masterclass with the acclaimed filmmaker, Vincent Ward.

In this Masterclass you will learn about acting for film, including keeping the performance alive and developing connectedness with strangers. You will call on your acting experiences on stage or screen to develop your improvisation technique.

Ward draws on his work with acting coaches Penny Allen (Actors Studio) and Improv Coach, Stephen Book (Viola Spolin technique and Stephen's book 'Book on Acting') along with his explorations in Los Angeles as an actor (Leaving Los Vegas) and film director (What Dreams May Come, Map of the Human Heart). This Improv Acting Masterclass is equally useful for screen or stage and includes a series of improvisations and discussions. 

Ward has run workshops for actors in the Ukraine; working with more than 80 actors, and collaborating with actors he worked with for one of his films there. More recently he has worked in Auckland as a coach; collaborating with acting teachers as diverse as Peter Feeny, and Elena Steijko.
