Acting/Scene Study (ongoing, 4-week cycle)

October 21 Sample Class ~~ 7.00 – 10.00 pm

October 28 New Term Begins ~~ 7.00 – 10.00 pm

In this hybrid Acting/Scene Study class, students work with film and tv scripts to develop audition and performance skills.

The class focuses on:
IMPROV –  every class begins with Spolin improv warm-ups
AUDITION TECHNIQUE – the first class of each 4-week cycle includes on-camera mock auditions
SCRIPT ANALYSIS – each class includes Kimberly’s curiosity exercises which encourage actors to explore each layer of the script
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT – students gain a fresh perspective on the character, finding unique character behavior
COLD READING – students work fearlessly, making bold choices

Actors learn to dive into character and live fully in that character’s world. Our technique helps the actor understand and connect with all elements of a scene through deep script analysis.

During each 4-week cycle, students go through the actor’s experience from audition to character emersion with a scene partner.
