Class Experience

This class will explore the basics of acting for anyone new to acting, or just wanting a refresher. Through this 8-week course, we'll dive into the Stanislavski method for acting and what that means, what acting is, as well as the steps to preparing for an audition. We'll also cover monologues, scene work, and how to prepare for your first show. The class will gradually increase in topics, adding on from week to week, starting with the basics of acting and theatre, and moving forward all the way to opening night of your first show!

Learning Goals

Understand what actors are and how actors develop their work
