We've seen a need for more in-depth work in many actors— for a class entirely dedicated to script analysis and FULLY understanding the material.

Students will take their time using the tools we go over in class to write notes analyzing their scenes. One by one, students will present their work as we break down their script analysis and notes together as a class. We will break down every single line to ensure they have a deep understanding of the material. Sometimes this analysis is instinctual and other times it requires a bit more work.

Students will also perform their scenes in class.
