Foundations of Acting - SOLD OUT

This is an 6 week class held Thursday evenings 6-8pm from August 31st to October 5th at work.shop (160 WInston Dr. Athens, GA).

In this course, students will be introduced to the techniques and tools that are fundamental to an actor's craft. Each week will consist of group exercises, solo/scene work, and time spent learning basic terminology for both theater and film/television. The foundation will be laid for students to continue their acting education through the various methodologies like Meisner, Strasberg, Hagen, Loughlin, etc. Whether you want more grounded scene work in your improv scenes, or want to get ready (#stayready) for opportunities created by nearby Athena Studios, this class will add technique to your performance toolkit.
