Scene Study
About the Course
Embark on an 8-week journey into the heart of acting with "The Non-Dominant Actor." Based on Ben Mathes' innovative approach, this course invites actors to shed the shackles of control and embrace a creative equilibrium with character and storytelling. Dive deep into scene work and monologues while exploring your unique relationship to the artistic process. If you seek an alternative path to character creation and embodiment, this pedagogy-based course is a wonderful path to a more liberated and authentic acting practice.
​
We now have two different nights to choose from! The only difference in these classes is the day of the week they take place. Tuesday's class is from 6:00-9:00 pm and Wednesday's class takes place from 7:00-10:00 pm. Sign up for one, or both!
