CLASS DESCRIPTION
Teen Acting II helps the emerging actor develop their instincts into technique. Building on the skills introduced in Teen Acting I, this class challenges students to go deeper into text and character, and into the collaborative work of making theatre with other people. Students begin working with published scripts, developing the tools to break down a scene, understand what a character wants, and make bold, specific choices on stage. Students in Teen Acting II work on scenes and monologues from published plays alongside devised and improvised work, building toward a end-of-year performance.
