Intermediate Acting
Intermediate Acting continues the actor’s process through ensemble building, rehearsal techniques and games, improvisation, and scene work. Students learn to discover their inner resources and use them to inform their acting work. Students’ work will focus on actions and objectives, status, subtext, and character analysis and creation. Individual and group exercises culminate in scene work from comic and dramatic plays. Students interested in taking more than one art class should reach out to the registrar or the Head of Performing Arts to discuss possible options.
