"I have been in class for approximately 2 months. I am so grateful to him for his incredible insight into every student, speaking to them in ways they can understand so that they can follow through. He's able to capture everything we need to know in order to be excellent in our craft. While studying with him I booked three acting jobs. Two for Stage and one for Television. I really give him credit for giving me the confidence during the auditioning process in order for me to get the call saying, "you booked it". Thank you Micheal. Thank you."

DATES/TIMES

MONDAY EVENINGS 6:30-9:30

Material will come from primarily contemporary texts

CLASS INFORMATION
This is a process class.
It's a nuts-and-bolts look at scene study. We will focus on defining beats,
relationship, moment-to-moment work, spacial relationship, needs/wants, intentions, always
working off of what is being offered to you from your partner with special
attention paid to the given imaginary circumstances. We will discuss point of
view and the "human condition". We will spend time on "impulse/response".

This is a class for the actor who has more than just a basic understanding of
the craft, an actor who is wanting to be challenged and pushed, an actor who has
hit a wall or wants to break free of the box in which they find themselves.
Diving into a class is the best way to break barriers.

*If I do not know you or your work, I will want to meet you and talk before
acceptance into the class.
