ADVANCED SCENE STUDY WITH KURT NAEBIG
Eight weeks, three scenes, three partners...one damn good time.
In this course for experienced actors, you will explore, in-depth, three different scenes over eight weeks. Hone your script analysis and rehearsal skills with talented peers, an expert instructor, and compelling scenes. Throughout the course, Kurt assigns scenes on a prescriptive basis to challenge you and your classmates to take greater risks and explore acting choices (safely) outside your comfort zone.
Please note, this advanced class requires significant outside work: students are required to rehearse outside of class a minimum of twice a week per scene. For two weeks during the session, actors will be simultaneously working on two scenes. For those two weeks they will be meeting with two partners, twice a week outside of class (a total of four rehearsals).
If you anticipate any absences please talk to the office before registering.
Required: Strong theatre background and training, determined by headshot. resume and self-tape.
In the event of inclement winter weather, your class will move to Zoom. ASC staff will make the decision by 3 pm the day of class and send you a Zoom link via email and text.

Kurt (Naebig) has a beautiful knack for understanding how to challenge everyone’s blind spots in their scene work. He does this while creating a space that feels truly safe and fun. (Advanced Scene Study)
— Frankie Ferrari
Kurt Naebig (Advanced Scene Study) is very good about giving feedback after each scene. He listens intently to questions and takes his time when working with each actor. He also asks the rest of the class for input on each scene, and after each turn, he asks each actor what they have learned. Each time I have finished a class with Kurt, I know I'm leaving it having grown in this craft.

"This class went far above my expectations. Kurt Naebig (Advanced Scene Study) is a great teacher and knows how to get everyone to give performances beyond what they thought was capable. Kurt creates a safe, positive, collaborative, and fun environment. By using the twelve guideposts that Kurt teaches in class, I have found so much more possibility for creation in the characters I play. Kurt knows how to take actors to the next level. What I learned here I will use in my acting career at all times."
