Class Description: This class will concentrate on the definition of objectives and their importance as a fundamental tool for making the actor active; on focus on the scene partner as of primary importance in acting; and on the actor’s presence, in the sense of using your self in your work as part of seeking truth and authenticity, among many other aspects of the craft of acting. The class will be small, gentle, and fun.
