About the Course:

This advanced acting class is designed for experienced performers looking to deepen their understanding of acting techniques and character development. Through intensive scene work, monologues, and character analysis, students will hone their skills in emotional expression, physicality, and storytelling. Special emphasis will be placed on building authentic, layered characters and working collaboratively within a scene partner or ensemble. Ideal for teens with previous acting experience, this class will challenge students to elevate their craft to the next level.

This 6 week intensive course is a great opportunity for students with some experience looking to build their skills for application in classrooms, post-secondary auditions, and rehearsals.
