Whether you are new to acting or a seasoned veteran, this class is for you. You will learn how to explore a script and create a strong character and scene. You will learn what is expected of you on the set and what you can expect. You will watch your performance and build on your positives while learning what you want to change. The atmosphere is supportive and constructive, as we take a scene from rehearsal, to performance, to review. This class is a good workout for the working actor and a good chance for any actor to get comfortable with seeing yourself onscreen.
