Scenes in Performance

Some performance issues can only be explored when an audience is involved. This course adds that crucial element to the traditional scene study mix. Students will rehearse scenes under the guidance of the instructor, with attention paid to all aspects of the acting. The course includes a performance for an invited audience and discussion of performance issues that may have arisen, such as nervousness, the give and take of energy between audience and performers, and when and how to incorporate feedback.

* Note: Small class sizes are a fundamental part of our training philosophy at The Theatre Lab. Classes are kept small to ensure every person receives extensive personalized feedback from instructors and meaningful collaboration with other students. If a class is full, we encourage you to join the waitlist, and we will contact you if a spot becomes available!
