Advanced training classes you can't miss this fall

Intermediate/Advanced Acting: Meisner Technique Actors will work on scenes and monologues, utilizing elements of the Meisner Technique in the process of bringing the text to life! Following the specific needs of each individual instrument, we will explore and integrate exercises and material that will awaken deeper levels of curiosity, broaden experience, and further mastery of the craft. Taught by Rachael Adler. Class starts MON 10/8, 6:30–9:30PM. 

Script Analysis: This is a class for an actor, director, or student. You’ll learn how to look for the information in the text supplied by the author regarding character, situation, and theme. We’ll start with Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune by Terrence McNally. The only prerequisites for this course are to have read the play before the first class and to bring your copy along. Taught by Rolf Saxon. Class starts MON 10/15, 2:00–4:00 PM

Art of Auditioning: This class covers all aspects of the audition process but focuses on the commitment to strong, imaginatively chosen actions. Actors should prepare a classical monologue for the first day of the workshop, and on the second day, the focus will shift to working with sides and a reader. Taught by Jonathan Moscone. Class starts WED 10/17, 7:00–10:00PM 

Advanced Improv: Open your mind to the infinite possibilities of improvised theatre. Delve into the more potent possibilities of improv, while exploring the nuances of style in storytelling, long form, genre work, and continued development of spontaneity and dynamic play. You will receive direct, tailored, and supportive feedback. This class will be geared toward performance-level improv, getting you ready to hit the stage or giving you a tune-up wherever you are as an improviser. No matter what, we will have fun and laugh. A lot. Taught by Kasey Klemm. Class starts TUE 10/4 7:00-10: 00 PM

Two acting worlds collide in this Weekend Intensive/Master Class with award-winning actor and Cirque du Soleil clown Ron Campbell. Workshop held SAT & SUN 10/6, 10/7,1:00–4:30PM
