Instructor: Robert AngellActing is more than memorizing lines and trying to avoid the furniture on stage. Sanford Meisner defines acting as “…living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Whether you have experience in acting or none at all, this class will use the ideas from Stanislavsky, Strasberg, and Meisner to help you develop acting skills and to experience “living truthfully” and doing what is real on stage. The class includes step by step instructional activities, scene work, lots of fun, and a performance at the end of April. Fee covers four (4) classes per month.
