Scene Study with Marko Hohlbein

Scene Study is the place where actors take all of their technique and harness it for performance. It is a weekly workout where actors test their performance abilities in a safe and playful environment. Through working on scenes of various genres, the actors discover their strengths and weaknesses with the help of an insightful teacher. Technique exercises will be instigated into the scene study format, giving the actor an opportunity to improve their craft while gaining performance experience and bring the actor to an instinctive, impulsive place. The end result is for the emotional life to be organic and the choices to be exciting and truthful.

Scene Study is simply your best opportunity to flex your acting muscles and refine your craft on a consistent basis. Because class size is restricted to 8 actors, each actor works in every class.

LEARNING THE ACTOR'S SKILLS
Theatre BC & Stages Educational Consulting are offering a unique workshop to business & business professionals - Learning The Actor’s Skills.

Actors, in order to communicate effectively with their audience, must develop the skills that allow their voices, bodies, and minds to work in harmony. These same skills can be learned by others who, while not actors, must communicate effectively with their own unique audiences.                                                                                       More Info>>>
