Only some of the selected students will work directly with Barry Primus on the stage. Other students may participate in the process from the hall – ask questions, participate in morning warm-up and some sensory exercises, and also work with the instructor during specially scheduled time.
Students who read English should try to get and read Uta Hagen's book “Respect for Acting.”
Prior to the workshop start, the students will receive monologues. They will have to prepare one of the dialogues of their choice and to give it out in the first day of the course.
Also, the students will receive translated into Russian scenes from movies. They should familiarize themselves with the scenes.
