Women's Intro to Acting Class w/ Miranda McGee

In this 7-week beginner level class we will explore the core components of an actor's toolbox: physicality, vocal technique, character creation, ensemble work and text analysis. Through a variety of exercises created by different practitioners (Laban, Kaiser, Stanislavski) we will create a foundation for each actor to work from individually and as an ensemble. Class includes a short invite-only performance of a series of scenelets (very short scenes) on the last class that students may invite friends or family to in the 7th week.
