Scene Study and Shaping the Actor's Tools

In this adult scene study class, actors will engage in group warmups, relaxation techniques and sensory work exercises. Everyone will be assigned a scene partner and scene from a play to apply and practice these tools. This personal in-depth work will strengthen the actor’s inner life and imagination to help you become more present and grounded in your work. We will also address acting blocks, risk taking to make more interesting acting choices and personalizing your work.
