    Description
    In this class, students engage in scene work from plays that range across the entire spectrum of dramatic literature--contemporary, classical, and everything in between. The focus shifts from the actor's individual approach to the actor as collaborator. The aim is to engender the kind of playing together that is at the heart of the live theater experience, the kind of teamwork that delights audiences--who like to describe the connection they see happening between actors as 'chemistry.' In text analysis, tablework, scenework, improvisation and exercise, the course will guide the student actor to identify and promote a rehearsal process which works to create that connection.
