Abstract

Works cited: page 45. 'When entering the professional world as an actor, it is crucial to have a clear and repeatable process that one can return to regardless of the role. While studying at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) I learned and practiced the techniques of image structuring, Laban energies, Fitzmaurice Voicework®, and emotional preparation. This thesis chronicles how I formulated a process using these techniques to aide me in portraying a fully realized character through rehearsing and performing the role of Sherry in SCAD’s production of Jessica Dickey’s play 'The Amish Project'.' Keywords: The Amish Project, Laban energies, Fitzmaurice Voicework®, image structuring, emotional preparation, acting process Advisors/Committee Members: CHAIR: Ott, Sharon, Ballard, Laurence, Kelley, Mary Margaret.
