CFAA TESTIMONIALS: ​
In Their Words

The most important thing I've learned about being a filmmaker in Sacramento is that the CFAA has your back. I'm just getting started with my journey, but at every turn, CFAA has been there with information, connections,
and most importantly, encouragement. Tonight was no exception. There are big things brewing that will affect the way films will be made here. If you're not a member yet, I highly recommend you join so you don't get left behind. Thanks, CFAA!

CFAA ACTORS WORKSHOP

Tues., March 10th, 2020 
@ 7:00pm

Guest Instructor
Katherine Stroller
“How to Physically Build a Character from the Ground Up”

Most actors would say they act because they like being other people. We do this for a variety of reasons: a psychological nose dive into another's psyche or for the joy and/or relief of being someone else for a time, to name only two. Throughout our process of finding a character, we tend to focus heavily on script analysis, diving down a rabbit hole of emotional possibilities to create a complex multidimensional character intellectually. If a vocal change is required by way of accent or dialect, we’ll put in the work. Something that sometimes is overlooked is how our characters move. How they physically exist within the world around them.
​
How someone moves can offer a great deal of insight into their lives. In this workshop we’ll explore the work of Rudolf Laban and his groundbreaking energy system to help you create movement signatures that are as specific and unique as the characters you play.

Please come wearing clothing that allows you to move freely.

Katherine is a local actor of stage, screen and microphone. Harkening from the Bay Area she attended Foothill College Theatre Conservatory before attending UC Davis to earn her BA in Dramatic Art. She has performed in numerous film and stage productions throughout the greater Sacramento region. Film credits include: Detective Lisa Bavareso in Finn & Marco, is the co-host on Jocks, Geeks and Nerds and has participated in both A Place Called Sacramento and the 10x10 film festivals for multiple years. Stage credits include: Laura in the Glass Menagerie, Portia in The Merchant of Venice, and Cathleen in Long Day’s Journey Into Night, among many others. She is a writer and freelance teaching artist bringing movement exploration to kids from the ages of 10-100. She is a proud member of CFAA and Actors Equity.
