ACTING: Scene Study with Meg MacCary

$200.00

Taught by Meg MacCary (website)
June 6*, 13, 20, 27 (Saturdays)
11:00 am to 2:00 pm
13 West 17th Street, New York, NY 10011

How do you make the most heightened language feel accessible? What makes naturalistic dialogue pop? In this scene study class we will play with theatrical texts across the spectrum, discovering how different performative genres communicate story. Then we’ll apply what we discover to contemporary scenes, connecting to them emotionally, while also employing “tricks of the trade.” Our goal: to communicate with authenticity and impact.

*Class on June 6th will be held at a different location due to a scheduling conflict: Open Jar Studios, 1601 Broadway 11th floor, New York, NY 10019
