Studio: Genre Lab

Prerequisite: Foundations series, or by video interview/audition.

This 8-week course will immerse you in a wide variety of genres and styles, that you'll be able to recreate on stage for enthralling dramas, thrilling horrors or hilarious comedies. Each week we will explore two complimentary styles, for example Sit Com, Romance, Film Noir, Western, and Horror. Finally, we will select a genre to create our own mini long form that we will perform on the final class. Some research (movies!) will be expected as part of the course.
