1 hour per week. This is an ongoing drop-in course. Students may be asked to memorize copy outside of class. Those who intend to participate for more than one session, will benefit from memorizing the copy.Class Experience
In this drop-in practice group, students will work on assigned material (monologue, scene, commercial copy). The instructor will assign a monologue or scene to participants based on the number of students present. Students will be asked to take turns performing and then receive feedback from the instruction. Students may be asked to repeat the same material and make changes in their performance. Games make up less than 10% of our class time. This is not an improv class. Students will work to memorize assigned pieces and perform them in class. This class is for: - students who have experience acting or - students who have taken my Drama Class/ Acting Class for Kids Level 1 or - students who are actively auditioning ******Cameras must be on during class. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding.******

Learning Needs
Students who are Dyslexic and those who may struggle with reading are welcome to contact the instructor before class, to receive material in advance.
Parental Guidance
Students should be comfortable dealing with themes such as murder, bullying, love, and fear. We select material that avoids profanity and though age-appropriate a bullying piece might include the word "stupid." We honor the writer's words. This is important when using material from real plays and films as we are not legally allowed to change their words. Students should be mature enough to understand the difference between real and imaginary. We do not use guns as props in class. A piece on "murder" may mention a gun. Participants must be mature enough to understand that referencing a murder or referencing a gun is a part of the character's imaginary world.
Students will be asked to practice their assigned pieces (monologues or scenes) outside of class. Memorization or being “off book” is encouraged.
Pre-Requisites
This course is designed for those with acting experience and is more suitable for those who are auditioning or have completed an course on how to act. Students who are interested in acting, but do not have acting experience should register
