Scene Work Intensive Format

This intensive is designed to give actors the chance to dig deeper into scene work, take direction, and strengthen their ability to bring a script to life on camera.

Actors will receive a handful of scripts ahead of class and choose the scene they want to prepare. From there, students will self-tape their scene and submit it in advance.

In class, the industry pro will provide feedback on each actor's tape and offer redirects so they can make adjustments and explore stronger, more specific choices in real time.

This isn't a sit-and-watch class. You'll get on your feet and work the material live, playing off other actors in the room based on the scene you choose.

Actors who are working on the same scene and opposite roles may also be paired together for chemistry reads on camera, giving them the chance to explore connection, listening, and responsiveness with a scene partner.

Along with the performance work, actors will also dive into script analysis and scene study to better understand the material, sharpen their instincts, and elevate their storytelling.

The intensive will wrap with a Q&A conversation.
