This acting class is designed to introduce students to a more modern, instinctive approach to acting. Long-time actors and newcomers will all benefit from this introductory class to get a feel for this way of working, finding ways to move beyond overthinking and connect directly with their impulses. Through a blend of improvisation, physical theatre, vocal work, and scene study, participants will learn to trust their instincts and make bold, authentic choices with little preparation. We will work with scripts in hand, minimizing outside memorization and rehearsal while strengthening cold-reading skills and breaking unhelpful habits that can come from over-preparing. This process opens the door to deeper creativity and freedom on stage, fostering growth not only as an actor but also as a person. By embracing spontaneity, presence, and self-expression, students will discover powerful new tools to bring to both performance and life. NOTE: There will be several 5-week sessions throughout 2026, which will be filled via the waitlist.
