*ACTIVE  CHEKHOV/MEISNER INTEGRATIONS
This class focuses on the individual actor and his or her individualized needs at any given class session. Actors are free to work on assignments from either Comprehensive class, self-chosen monologues or scenes, activities, character work, audition material or self-devised work. Each class begins with a Chekhov-based warm up and concept exploration. Meisner and/or Integrated explorations may also be introduced. Then actors share their work.  INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING/FEEDBACK--based on both Techniques and Integrations is offered, suggesting techniques and approaches that engage the "whole actor" working truthfully in given circumstances. Because you'll be selecting your own material, the class will function as a "lab" to work on whatever is most immediate and useful for you.  This class is part of our Comprehensive curriculum, but can be taken as a stand alone workshop. All levels welcome.

ACTORS BODY WORK

This 8-week class focuses on the body and is designed to help actors discover themselves through their unique physical being, to develop an "acting-ready" instrument. The work is Laban/Bartenieff based and provides each actor with an opportunity to create a personalized warm up that can be used in preparation for acting class, rehearsals or auditions.   Each week will focus on physical techniques that engage the "whole actor" and tap into specific psycho-physical connections. There will be times when we fold the work into the acting process.  For this you'll be selecting your own material. The material you choose will allow you to "work out and into" what's most immediate and usable for you that day.

This class is offered at various times throughout the Studio year.  Let us know if you're interested. 

Fee: $250 per session
