Adult Acting Michelle

Arts Garage

Join us for an intermediate/advanced-level acting class, where the focus will be on using scene study and script analysis to better understand the development of a character. The goal of this course is to use the tools we have learned to make informed creative choices and believable characters and relationships.

Each student will be performing at their own unique level. An environment of encouragement and constructive criticism is essential.

Pre-Requisites:

Some type of previous acting experience: class, stage performance, film/TV, etc.
