Adult Acting Intensive & Theatre Games
Adult Acting Intensive & Theatre Games is a Professional Level Acting Technique taught by Lynn Winters. This unique class offers the adult actor an acting technique based on the Holistic Human as a template. Each class will begin by warming up with Theatre Games, just for FUN and FREEDOM. The class will move into individual monologue work and eventually scenes, followed by a Winters Acting Technique Lesson. We will be examining our design through the Spiritual, Emotional, Intellectual and Physical aspect of the human being, to build a Holistic understanding and create a more 4 dimensional, living character experience.
This progressive program is designed to offer the Ithaca theatre community a chance to elevate the individual Performing Artists and transition into professional theatre experiences. This opportunity will provide the next step for the performer in local theatre groups, while also giving the performing artist with a degree in theatre a place to advance their base. The technique will provide a reliable and solid resource of skills along with an open perspective that enhances any prior training. The class also offers a new actor the platform needed to join the world of Performing Arts. ​
[Must be 18 years or older]
Teen Acting Project [T.A.P.]
The Teen Acting Project is an ongoing class that provides enthusiastic young thespians the opportunity to learn professional acting techniques that are slightly modified for this special group of young people. This class will warm up with theatre games and improvisations designed to encourage self trust and personal freedom on stage. Each actor will receive an age appropriate monologue to apply the acting tools to, that will enable them to personally connect to each character based on their organic design: Spirit [Energy], Emotion, Intellect and Physical Selves. This class also includes stage direction, how to approach a script and how to rehearse. Added to their acting tool box will be diction, articulation and projection. No experience necessary, just bring an open heart, open mind and PASSION!​

Emily (Dryden, NY)
"Lynn's class has transformed my awareness of my body, my speech and my presence. Her teaching style is individualized to help each of her students grow in exactly the areas that they need. I have developed my presence and self knowing both on and off the stage."
Michelle C. (Ithaca, NY)
"Lynn's class is amazing. It's different from anything I've ever experienced, but it is definitely a unique and enriching one. Lynn's class opened my eyes up to what true acting is. I could not be more excited for the challenge in new ways. You may realize you are capable of more than you thought possible. If you're up for the challenge, join the class. It will enrich your life in more ways than can be counted."
Roan (Ithaca, NY)
"This is a class on emotion, you are expected to let down your guard and trust those around you and to trust yourself. Taking this class has opened my eyes to how truly held back I was in my own lifestyle and the way I interacted with others. You can come with the intent to get better at acting, but do not be surprised if you find yourself leaving with much more beyond it."
Jeff (Ithaca, NY)
"This class is Earth school. It's life class. We learn how to live our full experiential beings. While developing the craft of Acting. We grow deeper in understanding of our Energies and their power. Lynn loves teaching and gives so much of her heart to each one of us, so personally. We build life skills with each class. And it's heartening to witness progress in my peers and in myself."
