ONGOING CLASS
Serious Actors: this is your workout!
This dynamic on-going class is geared toward actors who have already been practicing their craft and want to continue to hone their skills and find deeper ways to explore. Each week will have a different focus and will draw from several acting schools including Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Michael Shurtleff, Harold Guskin, the Groundlings, Second City, Lesly Kahn, and more. We’ll be working both on film and off, and explore script analysis, character development, freeing yourself from constraint, finding the core of the scene and more. BONUS! Each week I send out videos of your class work which are yours to keep or pass on to agents, managers, CD’s – anyone who is interested in seeing what you can bring to the table.
