Initially, we held the belief that acting classes must be conducted in person to be effective however, we have been proven unequivocally wrong. Our online classes have challenged us and driven us to put more attention on the written word, the script. We have a renewed respect for dramatic text and the contribution of the writer, re-discovering the power of the spoken word. Tapping into the ‘rhythm’ of the writing has become an important element and as we are dealing with original material, the process becomes even more exciting. Writing specifically for actors we have worked with in the past, we are able to develop characters that are rich and accessible to the actors themselves. Our actors are challenged in ways they have not been previously, as the material itself is closely aligned to where they need to grow next. The students are also able to benefit from Peter’s many years of working with actors and Sophie’s knowledge of the play’s themes and backstory. The fact that we have been able to transcend the limitations of a two dimensional plane has been our biggest joy and discovery.
