Fall Scene Study Workshop

WHEN: September 14 – November 2 (8 weeks), Mondays, 7-9pm
WHERE: Civic's Theatre514
COST: $150/person (Civic members); $200/person (non-members)

Artists will engage in an 8-week program designed to explore and hone acting and interactive scene study skills. Participants will be paired with partners, rehearse and work scenes in class with instructor Larry McCallister each week. A total of 3-4 scenes per person will be worked over the term of the class; the workshop will be a combination of assigned scenes and scenes chosen by actors with different pairings every scene. Participants will be expected to meet outside of class for rehearsal and work off-book for class presentation.

We are looking for actors committed to improving technique while exploring the space between character needs and actions in a variety of genres. A great opportunity to explore a range of characters and situations outside of full production rehearsals.

Class size will be limited to 16 ensure meaningful work is done every week.
