Through Self / Scene Study
April 4 - June 13
Saturdays
10:00a.m. - 2:00p.m.

This class focuses on dramatic structure and character intentions from the author's point of view, and the actor's responsibility of realizing that character through transformation of the self. This class is designed to help actors deal with the personal blocks and current limitations that are keeping them from being able to fully enter the world of the play. The material used will range from 19th Century European writers to contemporary American playwrights.
