Class Description

This in-person class is for students looking to sharpen and hone their skills on a weekly basis. This class is a hybrid where the focus shifts from audition technique and/or scene study depending on the week.

Students will work on TV/Film/Theater sides focusing on different challenges actors may face: comedy vs. drama, single vs. multi-cam, utilizing physical environment, technical jargon, etc.

Students will learn how to effectively break down scenes as your interpretation of the script is of vital importance.

This ongoing class will empower students with the tools and techniques to powerfully connect to “story” so they may give truthful and memorable performances. Students will have a safe space to play boldly and continue to gain confidence by igniting curiosity and joy in their own work.

Class size is purposefully capped to ensure that everyone plays every week!
