*‘A Slice of /Zoom/ Life: Uta Hagen’s Object Exercises in the COVID Era’*

*Prof. David Shirley, Executive Director, Western Australian Academy of 
Performing Arts, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia*

Following a brief contextual overview of the aims and purpose of Hagen’s 
training techniques, this presentation will reflect on the advantages 
and challenges encountered during the delivery of a series of classes to 
first year actors at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts 
(WAAPA) during April-June 2020. How do notions of /authenticity/ change 
in this context and how important is the role of the actor’s 
/imagination/ in this reconfigured approach to practical training.

*‘Psychophysical Actor Training for the Small Screen’***

*Prof. Stephanie Daventry French, **Professor of Theatre, */*East 
Stroudsburg University,*/*Pennsylvania, US***

French will demonstrate subtle mind-body exercises using the anatomy of 
thought (WEDGAG).  These have the power to create a sculptural story 
through the body, stimulate inner life and thoughts in the 
circumstances, and activate emotions.
