Character Profiling: Building an Archetype - TO BE ANNOUNCED

The objective of Character Profiling is to create a deeply detailed ARCHETYPE that fits snuggly into the concept of the script, while holding a number of personality contradictions and complexities. This systematic approach begins with a thorough examination of the script from which we are able to concisely use Carl Jung’s list of ARCHETYPES to delve deeply into the interior life world of our character. We do not only use one ARCHETYPE to examine our character, but rather, we combine three related ARCHETYPES in order to add a deeper, more human profile of the person we will bring to life. This course follows Script Analysis in the Process. It is a creative hand-off from the ideas of the screenwriter who holds the story, to the actor who must bring the character to life.

Prerequisites: Script Analysis, Process 1, Process 2
