This fascinating and dynamic Seminar/Demonstration is focused on the work of the man who revolutionized the art of acting. 

Our speaker, Sharon Marie Carnicke will explore the value of taking a fresh look at Stanislavski’s last, most innovative rehearsal technique, Active Analysis. She will be joined by Theatre West members for a demonstration focused on the topic.

An Introduction to our Speaker

SHARON MARIE CARNICKE--author of Dynamic Acting through Active Analysis and Stanislavsky in Focus--is an award-winning expert on Stanislavsky’s System and an internationally acclaimed acting teacher. Her next book, Acting Among Stars, will focus on classic techniques for screen acting. Her next public workshop will focus on film acting at the upcoming S-Word Symposium in London in May.
