APPROACHING THE ROLE / SCENE STUDY

Tuesday Evenings / Saturday Days
October 1st - November 12th**
Tuesdays 6:30 – 9:30
Saturdays 11:00 – 2:00
6 weeks (12 classes)
$660

By learning and exercising the fundamentals of technique and script analysis, actors will begin the exploration of discovering his or her own personal process, and will gain a thorough understanding of the actor's job within the creative process and what is needed to build the world of the play both in and out of the rehearsal room. Emphasis is placed on helping actors develop a strong foundation in personal process and establishing a productive understanding of rehearsal technique.

Students will be assigned scenes specifically chosen to stretch them, and will then work to realize the character and the play within the structure of an Off-Broadway rehearsal process. Students will learn how to realize the story the playwright intended, how to live within the given circumstances of the play, and how to analyze their own work. Work will also be done to help actors identify and move past their current blocks and limitations. Scenes will be assigned on a prescriptive basis—material ranging from 19th Century European writers to contemporary American playwrights.

** There will be no class on Tuesday, October 15th.

Open to new and returning students.
A placement audition is required for all new students. To submit for an audition, please email your headshot and resume to [email protected].

Hello Friends,

I am writing with sad news. Our dear, beloved Felix Ivanov is very sick and needs our help. Felix was my teacher when I was at school, he was a founding faculty member of The Studio/New York, and he was, for many years, our resident movement teacher and he has taught many of you. He has so generously shared his gifts with all of us over they years. Felix has been fighting cancer and is now in need of home hospice so that he can be comfortable during his final days. A fund has been set up to hopefully help shoulder some of the massive costs. If you are at all able to help out, it would be hugely appreciated. Even a small donation would mean the world. Please feel free to share this information.

I hope you all are well!

Much love,

Jayd

Friends, I am raising funds to provide in home custodial care and comfort … Michael Milligan needs your support for Home Care for Felix during hospice.

Hey Guys!

A colleague, dear friend and one of The Studio's founding faculty members, Fay Simpson, and Lucid Body House, need our help! Many of you in The Studio family have studied with Fay and know
how important her work is--she is in jeopardy of losing her studio space. If you are in a position to help in any way, please lend a hand. Our community needs Fay and her work. Let's make sure Lucid Body Team doesn't lose their home.

Warmly,

Jayd McCarty
Founder of The Studio/New York

Help us keep the House open for the actors, dancers, and artists who use our space in NYC! | Check out 'Save the Lucid Body House!' on Indiegogo.

A big shout out to our Conservatory! We began the program in January of 2020, and had to put the program on hold due to Covid. These guys held on for 18 months and came back in September to finish the program. Kate Eberstadt, Hannah Martin, Helen Hood, Kelly Thomas, Nate Wise, Anthony Gabriele, Alexander Bianchi, Jake Lasser. I couldn't be prouder of you guys.

Below you will find a link to a student poll. It's just nine questions and will take no more than two minutes of your time. It would be hugely helpful for us if you would click the link and fill it out. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!
