at the intersection of the art & craft of acting
Skip Navigation Links
 


Acting classes at Bob Bills Studio, Chicago, specialize in helping you breathe life into your craft. The craft of acting is a necessary, but not sufficient part of developing and creating a role. The art of acting occurs when you apply your unique self to the framework that craft & technique help you build. That is the intersection of the art & craft of acting.

Comedic Acting - Getting laughs with text! The comedic acting class is for intermediate and experienced actors and improvisers. It is a lot harder to get laughs with an actual script than most actors/improvisers might think. Maybe you are already having trouble? I help you break down the script to get laughs in the text that many actors/improvisers never see. Also, I help you to develop honest, naturalistic interactions with other actors so you can sell your character. I do this by stripping away the mugging, clowning and other artifice that actors/improvisers use to attempt to sell, but that leave the audience flat. Once you're interaction is honest, I then help you inflate your character such that you can get away with everything called for in the script and beyond. After all, it is how much and what you can get away with that counts! You will be amazed as you see yourself and others in the class get better in real time before your very eyes.:)
This class will run in the next term.
