Flynn Center for the Performing Arts :: 2009/2010 Season

MONOLOGUE STUDY: Whether preparing for an audition or simply deepening your acting skills, this class will endow you with new skills in dramatic interpretation, character development, and other acting techniques that offer lasting effects onstage and off. Beginners will be amazed at what they can accomplish and rusty veterans will brush up on skills and acquire new performance tools. Students may choose to informally share class work with family and friends at semester’s end. Please bring in one or two monologues you like—no need to memorize in advance.

SCENE STUDY: Work on paired or small group scenes from a variety of genres in this supportive class, examining the depth of possibility within the text, the story, and yourself. Exercises that promote awareness, playful experimentation, group observation, and constructive feedback encourage the safe exploration of new acting territory. Class is open to bashful beginners, as well as those with more experience who want to sink their teeth into a rich character or dynamic conflict without facing an audition first! Students may choose to informally share class work with family and friends at semester’s end.
