About the class: This class takes a text-based approach to scene study. Actors will choose the material they wish to work on from contemporary and classical sources. Actors will spend the first hour of each class working on skills that can be applied to their scene work, including text analysis, partner work, and exercises designed to bring about greater specificity in their acting. The remainder of the class time each week will be devoted to deep exploration of the scenes students have chosen.
