LEVEL 4: REHEARSAL TO PERFORMANCE
Put Shurtleff's Guideposts into practice in the final level of ASCS's Core Program! In Level Four, students enrich their skills and gently stretch beyond your comfort zone through in-depth scene work. They will also be given a contemporary monologue to learn the “art of auditioning".
In Level 4, students master effective rehearsal technique, learning to toss weak choices and keep strong ones. You'll balance consistency and keeping your performance fresh and spontaneous. At the conclusion of class, share your hard work with fellow ASC students and friends in a capstone performance. Guided by expert teaching artists Christy Arington (scene work) and Sarafina Vecchio (monologue and voice), you'll experience the community of ensemble and the excitement of performance!
Required: ASC Core Levels 1, 2 and 3, and a video audition for the instructors. It is recommended that the student has completed the Level 3 course within the previous 12 months.
Please note: Throughout the Level 4 course, students are expected to rehearse in-person outside of class with their scene partner at least once a week.
Tuition: $450

Christy (Arington) and Sarafina (Vecchio) created a safe space for us to try things out and for us to grow in. They challenged me as well. I truly left a better actor then I was before I began Level 4.

I LOVE Christy’s (Arington) style and approach to tackling a scene and really digging to help you have those natural discoveries that really propel the scene and raise the stakes.
— Abe Ruiz
Level 4 with Sarafina Vecchio and Christy Arington is an outstanding class and experience. They both have extremely different teaching styles and that worked out perfectly because they bounced ideas off of each other. Sarafina and Christy really found ways to push me to better myself and performance. They helped me figure out how to let go and just give it my all. I would take it over and over again.

My favorite moments in class were actually watching Christy Arington’s (Level 4) minor directional adjustments for classmates completely transform a scene - it was amazing and better than live theater!
