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
