Today and yesterday we as a school experience the return of the one and only Mr. Jon Jory. Mr. Jory is a highlight of the American theatre and in the words of Andrew Tsao, "he has forgotten more about theatre than I'll ever know." He started the Long Warf Theatre in New Haven CT, and basically grew up around the theatre.
We have had class with him the last two days and it has rejuvenated my drive and love doing what I do. Mr. Jory has a very interesting a different approach to teaching acting. He doesn't even attempt to teach you how to get your soul into it or acknowledge that he knows how, in fact the opposite he tells you he doesn't know how or does he have some secret acting technique. Just Jon's acting garage. Where he goes through technique; speed, clarity, energy, gusto, and most importantly variety(the mix). This transport of the heart as he calls it infuses the bit of artifice and theatricality we need. Gosh it's good! Great man, great teacher.
I'm still working on the show pictures, i promise they will come.
