Scene Study Class

Ages: 18+

When: Monday Nights | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The goal for all participating actors is to sharpen their skills and craft through a realism-based scene study. Eric and Amy Schumacher, students of David LeGrant, will teach exercises, assign and watch scenes to give applicable feedback, and provide tools to help you grow your approach to scene work. 

What to Expect

The class will include a deep dive into relaxation and sensory exercises, helping actors learn to work through their biggest trap: nervousness & the fear of what other people think of you.

The main focus of this ongoing class will be on scene study, where you will learn to find the sweet spot between literal and overacting. You will be assigned a scene/scene partner, and once you feel prepared, you will perform your scene and receive feedback.

Preparation means you have rehearsed with your partner, have memorized your lines, have read the entire play, and know who your character is. Be prepared to receive feedback, answer questions about the play/character, and try new things. We believe acting is simply the art of “playing in your backyard,” so to speak, which leaves the door open for exploration and creativity.

What this space is & what it is not:

• This is a safe space for you to learn and to fail. It is not a space for perfection, but it is a space to work and learn.

• We believe in kindness over politics, but excellence over kindness. To us, this means putting aside hurt feelings to grow as an artist. Acting is a vulnerable craft, but we're often too close to the frame to see the whole picture. We need people to speak into us so we can improve and build awareness. 

• This is not a space for competition. If you participate, you are joining a community where we support, grow alongside, and celebrate one another.
