Acting Class in Session

Acting Technique / Scene Study

For intermediate and advanced students

Explore character work and script analysis on a deeper level. In this class, students will track a character's journey through a scene and learn to further articulate the essential elements of characterization. Students will work with both classical and contemporary material with an emphasis on Shakespeare. Using scenes and monologues, students discover how action and behavior shape characterization. Learn to create a distinct physical and emotional personality for the character and a deeper understanding of the scripted word. Students will also work on audition material. 

Rehearsal with a scene partner outside of class is required. The class will culminate in a night open to the public at the end of each 8 week session and a yearly fully staged workshop.
