Fundamentals of Acting -This class is an introduction to the important foundation work of acting, which emphasizes practicing with concentration, focus, imagination, physical presence and honesty. Exercises, improvisation and scenes with partners are explored to develop the actor’s commitment, vulnerability, and moment-to-moment involvement in the process of acting.

Voice, Speech, and, Text -This class engages the student actor in the exploration and training of breathing, posture, relaxation; the production and transmission of vocal sound waves; and the articulation of sound into speech through work on monologues.

Movement Class -The class introduces the student to physical release and body awareness work to help the actor reach an energized, balanced state for efficient use of the body in performance. Exercises will center on relaxation techniques, yoga, movement improvisation and dance.  

Special Workshops -Topics include auditioning, choosing a college, instruction in commercial acting  and acting for the camera, and mask acting.
