Advanced Scene Study (Wednesdays 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM)

Dive into the essentials of scene work in this focused four-week "Scene Study" improv class. We'll explore the art of two-person scenes through in-depth discussion, personal feedback, and dynamic exercises. With an emphasis on honing individual strengths and addressing areas of growth, each class is designed to help performers reach their unique goals. You'll engage in constructive feedback loops, deepen your understanding of character and relationship dynamics, and develop your ability to create authentic, compelling moments on stage.
