Acting Companies• Form a company
– Smallest company is 3 actors, largest is 8– Must have one actor per character PLUS ONE
DIRECTOR/DRAMATURGE (this role is combined)– FYI- Larger groups are harder to manage…– We can’t leave anyone in the class OUT (everyone needs to be in
an acting company; even those who don’t come to school often)• Decide on your scene (only one group per scene)
– DO NOT worry about GENDER• Write your contract, sign and submit
– Don’t forget to NAME your company!
