Scene Study & Acting Technique [Dramatists - Grades 9-12]

For performers eager to deepen their acting training, this scene study class gives students the skills they need to take their performance work to the next level.

We will delve into the core of acting technique by rehearsing scenes that our students select from a mound of carefully culled dramatic literature. While rehearsing scenes, students learn to research and explore their character, balance logic with imagination, identify their character’s journey, collaborate with scene partners, and rehearse productively. Scene work will be augmented with improvisational games that also teach acting skills: clarity of thought and action, commitment to choices, active listening, and responding while in character. The result is bold, confident and clear acting!
