The Trigger Approach

Many actors understand the tremendous value and = freedom of being “in the moment” and seek a clear and practical = approach to help them do so.

By breaking the text down thought by thought and finding the impulse or trigger, you can unlock a more vibrant and present emotional state effortlessly. Also covered will be subtext, making high-stakes choices, adjusting for film vs. stage performance, and a practical approach to monologues and auditioning.

or call (650)=20 949-7012

Class size is limited to 10 / a $50 = deposit is=20 required to hold a spot

The trigger approach is a technique originally = designed=20 by Richard Seyd as a way of breaking down text, thought by thought, to = enable=20 the actor to live more authentically and spontaneously in the moment during= =20 performance. All actors are told that "being in the moment" is = important,=20 but no one teaches the actor how to be in the moment effortlessly. = The=20 trigger approach is designed to give the actor a working methodology for=20 achieving that performance state.

The class will include an initial session with = Richard=20 Seyd, and will continue with an in depth exploration of the approach = through=20 rehearsal and performance of an assigned scene. There will also be = improv=20 work and exercises to more fully develop spontaneity, relaxation, = imagination=20 and character.

"This class is a brilliant fusion of pragmatism coupled with = artistic=20 expression. With a no-nonsense mentality and an insight to match; Richard = Seyd=20 and Janis Bergmann just make sense. Janis Bergmann is hands down one = of=20 the best teachers the Bay Area has to offer." -Brian Stevens

"The trigger class literally changed my whole approach to acting.&= nbsp;=20 After years of training, I finally found a way to be in the moment and to = trust=20 that the words and responses will just be there without anticipating them.&= nbsp;=20 I highly recommend this class. It is a way to learn a script and = discover=20 a character in the early part of the process rather than the end!"&= nbsp;=20 -Lisa-Marie Newton

"The trigger approach is the most useful tool I have learned to=20 date.

The class = remains=20 one of the best I've taken!" -Emily Rahe

"I use the trigger approach now, and it has made my acting more=20 organic. I also get off book faster than anyone else because I have a= true=20 understanding of the text.
