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
-
All Level 2 students are required to attend week 6 (script analysis) of their class in order to move forward to Core Level 3.
Required: ASC Core Level 1 or equivalent training within the past 12 months (as determined by the ASC office) and a placement audition.
Tuition: $425

Jennie (Moreau, Level 2) was so amazing at creating a comfy yet productive environment.
— Karli Scott
Sarafina (Vecchio — Level 2: Shurtleff to Scene: Online) was high energy, encouraging, supportive and explained the ideas well. I like how feedback that she would give to a scene would actually apply to all of us

Jennie Moreau (Level 2) is a great instructor. Her feedback is actionable and tangible. She created a safe environment to inspire us to try new things. The principals and tools I've learned have not only helped me to be a better actor but have helped in my interactions during my daily life. I can't recommend this class enough!
— Anbu Lakshman
Christina Gorman’s Level 2 class was phenomenal. She had amazing insight on the industry and her feedback was incredibly helpful. Not to mention she is so fun and hilarious, and she made the 3 hours zoom by. Two thumbs up!
— Olivia Wood
"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!!"
