Acting for the Stage and Screen

Are you someone who moves between theater and tv/film work? Or would you like to become one? In this class, you'll be led through a series of exercises designed to help you develop your ambidextrous expression as an actor. Through discussion, exercises, audition technique and scene and monologue work, you'll explore what binds and separates the two related disciplines.
