Monologue Workout Class

Exploring physical and emotional freedom

Duration: The class will run for 4 hours a week for 5 weeks.

In the “Monologue Workout” class, participants will bring a prepared monologue that they will break down and stage. 

Participants will bring a prepared monologue, between 5 - 7 minutes, for the first class session.

The “Monologue Class” will be a workout program, focusing on:

  • Character
  • Given Circumstances, 
  • Super-objectives and Objectives, 
  • Obstacles and Intentions, 
  • Stakes, 
  • Emotional Justification, 
  • Rhythms and Tempo, 
  • Physical behavior,
  • Biography.


The job of the actor is to take what the writer has given and breathe life into those words - giving every dimension to that character with all the flaws, triumphs, tragedies and passions of your own life.

Creating character with truth, staging yourself using specific choices allows the actor to tell an authentic story every time.

Once class participants have been confirmed you will be provided a specific work-out program to prepare the material.

For more exercises to explore your artistry and creative choices, read 'The Intent to Live'.

"Larry’s unwavering commitment to his craft, his encyclopedic knowledge of the arts, and his sincere enthusiasm for the art of acting itself make his process exciting, inspiring and truly transformational as an actor. I would recommend his technique and process not only to first timers, but also seasoned veterans of the craft."
Leonardo DiCaprio

"Larry continues to inspire me to search fearlessly for the truth in the character I am playing and in myself as a human being. I am in awe of this profoundly gifted, articulate teacher."

Frank Darabont

Director

"Larry Moss was my secret weapon on The Green Mile, for it was his uncanny abilities as a teacher that unlocked the door to Michael Clarke Duncan's deep well of talent and allowed that talent to shine. Under Larry’s guidance, Michael blossomed as an actor before my eyes in ways that still surprise and inspire me, resulting in an indelible performance that earned Michael a Best Supporting Actor nomination that year. If you want to act, anything Larry Moss has to say on the subject are things you need to hear, making his book not only indispensable, but a rare privilege."

Testimonials

“The Intent to Live does what any great acting book must do. It refuses to choose between craft and spontaneity. It introduces and thoroughly explores the craft of acting- the nuts and bolts, the roll-up-your-sleeves, practical, tactical, doable how-to – while never losing sight of the fact that great actors learn those things to create emotion, intimacy, chaos, mayhem, revolution in themselves and in the audience. Buy this book!”

Actor

Helen Hunt

“Larry Moss picks up the mantle from Stella Adler, Sandy Meisner, and a handful of others, breathing life and love into the craft of acting for a whole new generation of artists.”

Writer and Director

Gary Ross

“Larry Moss is responsible for my new found love and obsession with playwrights. He's introduced me to the work of Moliere, Albee, Shanley and Inge, just to name a few. I'm eternally grateful to him for providing a safe environment for me to act out these wild, genius and heartbreaking works of art.”
