This Intermediate/Advanced Acting series will build on your previous acting training and/or experience, furthering your ability to handle scripted material authentically and creatively. Over six Zoom sessions, we will explore such aspects of performance as script analysis, actor choices, and character development, mainly through the process of partnered scene work in a safe environment. The series will culminate in a scene showing for an invited online audience. Our sessions will include such exciting activities as:

•     scene work—this will be our primary focus, with participants working on a two- or three-person scene from contemporary realistic material. This work will include breaking down scenes into emotional units, exploring subtext, developing minimal (Zoom-workable), meaningful action, and guiding rehearsals to a performance.

•     spontaneity and technique activities to free up impulses and creative responses.

•     acting feedback—actors will practice their ability to view and discuss other actors’ work so that their perceptions become increasingly informed, articulate and helpful to both their own and others’ acting.
