INTERMEDIATE ACTING CLASS

Through games, exercises, and performance work, students will strengthen their ability to make bold choices, connect with scene partners, and create authentic, engaging characters.
Drawing from the methods of Stanislavski, Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, and Stella Adler, students will continue developing the skills and techniques that prepare them for Advanced Acting classes.

ADVANCED ACTING CLASS

There is nothing quite like the experience of bringing a story to life with a talented cast and sharing it with a live audience.
Designed for dedicated actors, this class focuses on advanced acting techniques for both stage and screen. Through challenging exercises, scene work, rehearsals, and performance training, students will continue developing their skills while exploring character, relationships, storytelling, and truthful performance at a deeper level.
Drawing from the work of master acting teachers, students will strengthen their acting toolkit while developing the discipline, creativity, and collaboration required to create compelling performances.
Throughout the session, students will put these skills into practice as they rehearse and perform a One Act in our very own Black Box Theater. This class requires a commitment and includes additional rehearsals as we approach the performance.
