A good follow-up to Intro to Acting, a
first course for those looking for a more
intensive introduction, or a refresher
for those with previous experience—this
is an exciting exploration of the actor’s
process through a series of improvisational
exercises and theatre games.
Great for loosening up your body and
voice, building self-confidence, and
unleashing your creative spirit. Taken
together or in succession, this course
and Beginning Scene Study constitute
essential training in the basics of the
actor’s craft.
