ADVANCED SCENE STUDY WITH JON BERRY

Eight weeks, three scenes, three partners...one damn good time.

In this course for experienced actors, you will explore three different scenes in-depth over eight weeks. Hone your script analysis and rehearsal skills with talented peers, an expert instructor, and compelling scenes. Discover alternative ways to develop a truthful connection with your scene partner.  Throughout the course, Jonathan 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 be held on Zoom. ASC staff will make the decision by 3 pm the day of class and send you a Zoom link via email and text.
