Description

Are you ready to get serious about your acting? Have you had a solid amount of acting experience and want to go deeper in your understanding of various schools of acting, as well as their histories and development? Are you willing to put in time outside of class to research and practice what we are learning in class?

In this class, we will cover an overview of modern acting techniques, beginning with Stanislavski, and the impact on acting in Russia and the US. We will trace the development of acting methods by such teachers as Strasberg, Adler, and Meisner. While we understand where these techniques came from, we will also try some of them out, learning to apply them to monologues and scenework.
