Scene Study Masterclass with Director Laurel Smith

Working with your colleagues, we will explore the techniques of how to play a scene, including preparation, character development and scene analysis. Learn how to break down a scene into its core elements, by exploring beats, pauses, cues and other metrics. Learn how to propel a scene a with a natural rhythm and authenticity that makes the scene compelling for you, your fellow performer and your audience. This professional development workshop is for adult actors with some experience (at the professional or community theatre level.) You will be matched with a scene partner. Please come prepared to work with your partner on a scene that will be sent to you prior to the class.
