BEATS & TACTICS

Plays and scripts are typically divided into large units called acts, acts are divided into smaller units called scenes, and scenes are divided further into micro units called beats. Learn how to identify the beats in scene work and craft a specific and dynamic performance.

As human beings, we have more than one proverbial trick up our sleeve when it comes to getting what we want. Tactics are the specific ways your character goes about achieving their objectives. They are active and are designed to annihilate any obstacle that stands in their path. Learn how to identify and connect to your character’s tactics to create a visceral and dynamic performance.
