LEVEL 2: SHURTLEFF TO SCENE

Building on the foundation that students mastered in Level 1, our ASC Core Level 2 course delves deeper into Shurtleff’s Guideposts. In this course, you will continue honing your script analysis skills, clarify your choices, and develop a more personal connection with the text. Emphasis will be placed on the application and transition from bookwork into scene work.

In this course, students will further learn to:

  • Appropriately choose and apply action verbs

  • Easily and effectively find beats

  • Further develop and specify your internal monologue 

  • Incorporate discoveries in order to fully act on impulse

Required: ASC Core Level 1 or equivalent training within the past 12 months (as determined the ASC office) and a placement audition.

"I came to Acting Studio Chicago with zero experience in the craft, just a desire to have fun and have a new experience. ASC delivered on that and more; the people in my class with me were great, and the teacher - Christina Gorman - was just fantastic. Beyond fantastic. Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, real talk when feedback was needed and authenticity make her an incredible teacher, and no doubt a wonderful actress. I can't wait to take another class!!"
