::The Class::
First time students attend a one to one orientation with Kim. This helps them understand her terminology and technique based on the listening process.

The classes are then taught in two-part cycle:

::Part One::
Scenes are rehearsed, worked on, then filmed in several camera angles.

 

::Part Two::
Scenes are looked at and critiqued only by Kim on a moment to moment basis. This allows the actor to adopt the skills discussed below:

  • Learning to play the action and not to play the feelings or just the words.
  • Learning to listen with a high volume to hear full implications of the the words.
  • Learning where your visual focus is and what it is supported by.
  • Learning your specific rythm in the scene.
  • Responding to stimulus in imaginary and extraordinary circumstances.
  • Learning how important your silences are by making them specific and active responses to resistance.
  • Learning to build truthful dynamics.
  • Always learning the words and honoring the author.
  • Learning to be simple but not empty in your performance.
