Character Development
Build a Character From the Inside Out
Focused work with Richard to turn the text, circumstances, relationships, and behavior of a role into specific choices you can play.
A practical character process
Move Beyond a General Idea of the Role
Character development is where research and imagination become playable behavior. Bring a script, scene, audition, or role in progress and examine what the character wants, what is at stake, and how the relationships shape each moment.
The work stays connected to the material in front of you. The goal is not to pile on choices, but to find a clear point of view that supports truthful, repeatable performance.
Bring the role
Start With the Character You Are Working On
Tell Richard about the role, the material, and where you feel stuck. He will help determine whether character-development work is the right next step.
