Two skills every actor needs: holding the stage alone and sharing with a scene partner. This class builds both. Students select and develop a contemporary monologue while working scenes with a partner, learning to break down a script for objectives, obstacles, and the moment everything changes. Along the way you’ll strengthen vocal projection, physical presence, and the active listening that makes a scene feel real.
