Scene Study: An Ounce of Behavior is Worth a Pound of WordsThis challenging class is for actors of all levels of experience, ages 18 and up. Learning how to approach a script is vital to an actor’s development. As actors, it is our job to make our characters come alive through behavior. Acting should never be about the words. Acting is about behavior. In this class, students will uncover the behavior in a scene through the use of character improvisation, private moments, exploring the shadow side of characters and a character interview. All of the exercises students learn will help to further engage their imaginations and belief in the world of the play. The class will culminate in a final presentation of the various scenes. Limit: 12 students. Cost: $120.00 Downloads: Please complete student profile. This will enable Instructor to select appropriate scenes for class work. Note: The Instructor would like students to have and read the scenes at least one week prior to the start of class. Scenes can be emailed to students or students can pick them up in the RLT office during business hours.

Acting With An AccentAges: 16 - Adult So many great roles require actors to speak with an accent. Using scripted material, this class will prepare actors for dialect roles on stage or in film with a focus on American Southern, New York, Standard British, Cockney and Irish. Using the International Phonetic Alphabet, students will develop the ability to physically experience and isolate sound changes in order to achieve better overall vocal control and feel comfortable with an approach that can be applied to any dialect. The class will culminate in an informal performance of monologues and scenes (not memorized) in chosen dialects. Limit: 12 students. Cost: $140 per session Mondays, 7 – 9 PM Instructor: Heather Snow Clark To enroll, please send in the registration form (PDF) You are here: Home > Adult classes and workshops |
