Acting/Scene Study
The class will involve discussions on “acting technique,” “making good habits,” “telling the truth under imaginary circumstances,” “How does my character fit into the story?” etc. Students will be required to memorize at least one monologue and be prepared to work on it in class at any moment. Scenes will be assigned and worked on in class. When assigned a scene, students will memories the scene out of class and then do at least 2 “work sessions” with their scene partner in class. Once the scene is ready, it’s presented in class as a “final work” then a new scene is assigned and the possess starts again, if time permits. The last class of the three month cycle will be a showcase where students will present their best works (either a monologue or a scene) to friends, family and industry.
