This 3-week online class will focus on scene work for Television Drama auditions.
Special attention will be paid to script analysis, character development and technical
adjustments.

Each class will begin with a short lecture pointing out specifics of the sub-genres
and formats we are working on. For weeks 1 and 2, each actor will get a chance to
perform their scene, get verbal feedback and redirection from me, and do the scene
again. For week 3, actors will submit self-tapes of their scenes and receive written
feedback. All actors will watch the work of their classmates, so as to learn from each
other.
