The Dramatic I: Teaching IP Performance - Paul Caesar (Creative State)
This course focuses on developing confidence as a solo performer. By combining the head and the heart, participants will discover interesting ways into the script, which will result in a more complex and engaging performance. Through script analysis, improvisation and play, participants will help lessen the blockages they get when working on their IP and access their natural instincts whilst developing new skills.

Paul has appeared on numerous Australian television series including My Place, Home and Away, All Saints, 30 Seconds, Water Rats and ABC's acclaimed indigenous series Heartland. Paul has appeared on stage with the STC and in short and feature length films including Cross Life (Sydney Film Festival 2007) and The Square. Paul is the author of Individual Performance, a book of 20 original scripts for HSC Drama - available October 2010.
Teaching Improvisation- Lyn Pierce
This workshop is a practical experience in Improvisation exercises, games and scene work. It includes practical methods of side coaching. Side coaching is offstage 'calling' by the teacher or coach. It assists the improvisor to make a choice, offer and yield, name and accept, develop location, character and the story.
It allows the players to action and develop ideas, to invest in the scene, make it grow and succeed by fuelling it with strong dramatic, comic and character choices. It encourages listening, focus and change. The work is vocal, active and alive. The teacher requires skills; reading the moment, recognising the scene potential, naming ideas and confidence to assist students to make stronger decisions and richer choices.
Lyn Pierse B. Ed, Graduated NIDA Acting, has appeared in Theatre, Film and TV; Measure for Measure, Season at Sarsaparilla, Berkhoff’s Greek, The Women Of Lockerbie, All Saints, Home and Away, The Big Gig & SBS TV's Going Home.
