Scene Study: An Ounce of Behavior is Worth a Pound of Words

This 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
Sundays, 6:00 to 9:00pm
October 3, 10, 17, 24

Acting With An Accent

Ages: 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
14 instructional hours

Mondays, 7 – 9 PM
October 11 – November 22

Instructor: Heather Snow Clark
