Verve Studios Scene Study Class

Scene Study

About the Class

An actor is always working on her craft.  When you’re not working, you should be in class. Scene Study is for working actors and for those that have the desire and work ethic to be a working actor. 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, monologues, 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. 

While Scene Study is an Acting Foundations class, students must be experienced before entering. To meet the pre-requisite, complete Acting Foundations: 1. Core Technique, Acting Foundations: 2. Whole Body Acting, Acting Foundations: 3. Get Personal or through an Audition.

The 2021 Industry Showcase is scheduled for June 21.  Students must be enrolled in two of the three terms, including Term 3 to be eligible.  Students new to Scene Study are encouraged to enroll in all three Terms.  


To participate in December guest artist Master Class, attendance in both Terms 4 and 5 are required.  Students enrolling in just one Term will audit the Master Class (but work scenes the other 5 classes of the term.)
