Advanced/Professional Scene Study

INSTRUCTOR: Michelle Danner

scenestudy

An advanced lab for students who have had numerous years of acting training and/or professional experience. Students are encouraged to explore material that excites and ignites them and are asked to make bold choices in their work. Students relive experiences from the life of the characters they are working on through “The Biography Exercise”.

Students are challenged to thoroughly explore a character by working on each monologue and scene from the play or screenplay. Every artist has at least one great story in them to contribute and each student is nurtured to write and develop theirs.

“As an actor/writer I’d never dreamed of having a gorgeous, nurturing place in Los Angeles to study, work out material, and encourage other artists like myself. Michelle has taken the most helpful elements of the diverse techniques out there to create an arena all her own. I’ve become the actor I never dreamed I could be– one who is finally completely at home in his body.”
