WEEK ONE: Breaking Down The scene...
Actors will study their scenes or monologues and learn script analysis. Actors learn to THINK like actors! Talking theme, story ideas, the events of the scene...discovering the MEANING behind the text.
WEEK TWO: Finding The Character...
Actors PLAY with the scenes or monologues. Applying what was learnt in week one, actors discover the CHARACTERS!
WEEK THREE: Finding The Emotion...
Actors dig down to find the emotional approach of the scene or monologue. This is where actors find the "chemistry" of the scenes and monologues.

Working out the Blocking, Actors will present their ideas of approaching the scene and rehearse parts of or the entirety of prepared materials and receive direction, notes, and approaches to the work.
WEEK FIVE: Rehearsing The Scene...
