Great performances begin with a deep understanding of the script. Whether you’re stepping into a role as an actor or guiding a story as a director, the ability to analyze text, uncover subtext, and understand character motivations is essential to creating authentic and compelling work.
In this interactive master class, actor, director, and educator Eric J. Little guides participants through the art and practice of script analysis. Designed for actors and directors of all experience levels, this workshop provides practical tools for breaking down scenes, identifying character objectives, and connecting more deeply with the material.
Through discussion, group exercises, scene work, and collaborative feedback, participants will learn how to approach scripts with greater confidence and develop stronger, more nuanced performances. By exploring themes, character arcs, relationships, and emotional stakes, students will gain a deeper understanding of the storytelling process and the actor’s role within it.
Whether you’re preparing for auditions, rehearsals, film projects, or stage productions, this master class will strengthen your ability to bring scripts to life.
