Update: We are monitoring the Coronavirus situation and if we are unable to go ahead with our classes a full refund will be available.

The aim of this course will be to teach students how to create connected, meaningful scenes on stage.

We will focus on exploring organic ways to build scenes that place a primary focus on the characters relationships, and to bring the emotional life of that relationship to stage. This approach can be applied to a variety of theatrical styles from drama and surreal scenes to comedic and absurd ones.

The goal will be on building scenes with your scene partners so that you can keep discovering more inspiration. There will be a focus on learning some basic acting and stagecraft skills as well as more advanced impro skills such as monologues, starting scenes without premise and the use of mantras and repetitive action.

It is  pre-requisite that you have completed our intermediate classes (or equivalent). Contact us if you have any questions.
