Get ready to sweat during Burning Coal’s fall class in Suzuki Acting Technique!  Led by BCT’s Education Director, this 6-week class in Suzuki Acting Method trains actors to work from their core and builds discipline, strength, and focus. This physically rigorous practice draws on martial arts influences and those of Japanese Noh, Kabuki, and the ancient Greek chorus. Developed by Tadashi Suzuki, this method is taught all over the world, and is practiced at the SITI company alongside Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints.  Dive into this extreme, physical acting method that grounds the actor’s body and voice.  Ideal for actors looking to develop a strong stage presence, and sports-minded artists who enjoy physical challenge.

Fee:  $145.  Enroll at 919.834.4001 or coalartisticdir@ncrrbiz.com
