Scene Study - Intermediate/Advanced (Ongoing) with Amanda Melby #
An actor is always working on her craft. When you’re not working, you should be in class. If you are serious about wanting to be a working, professional actor, then we invite you to study at Verve Studios. Download a pdf flier about Frequently Asked Questions . Verve’s Scene Study class is a safe, vigorous, nurturing environment for you to build and practice your technique. Only through long-term training will you achieve your goals, stretch your previously held limitations, and learn to be flexible and adaptable while remaining true to the character and the script. Through partnered scene work and solo Uta Hagen exercises, you will learn to create truthful, organic moment-to-moment life on stage on a weekly basis. The combination of expert coaching and self-critique will allow you to identify and articulate what is working and what isn’t, and most importantly, why. Scene Study is month-to-month, and ongoing. Students are encouraged to stay in class for a minimum of nine months. Entrance into the class is through audition or completion of THE CORE. Actors first starting in Scene Study will be placed in Intermediate. Once actors have completed all ten Hagen exercises, the Core and Get Personal classes and have been in Scene Study for longer than 12 months, they may be invited to be Advanced.
