Scene Study: Presence, Connection, and Creative Play
Step into a supportive space to build confidence, explore characters, and develop emotional versatility as an actor. This four-week class is designed for anyone interested in acting, whether you’re preparing for auditions, looking to sharpen your skills, or simply curious about exploring performance.
Each week, you’ll work with scene partners, experiment with text, and engage in Meisner-inspired exercises to strengthen presence, emotional openness, and authentic connection. Together, we’ll break down scenes, explore character motivations, and play with different approaches to acting; all in a fun, safe, and welcoming environment that encourages you to show up as you are.
What You’ll Get:
· In-the-room scene work guided by experienced teaching artists
· Practical tools for text and character development
· Exercises to build emotional versatility and presence
· Encouraging feedback in a supportive, collaborative environment
· Skills that transfer to everyday life; communication, collaboration, and creative confidence
No prior experience required—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to play.
