Accelerated Intro I and II with George Lewis (Seattle Session with Freehold Theatre)

Accelerated Intro I and II This class, meeting twice a week, combines Step I and Step II of the acting progression. In it, you will develop fundamental acting tools: playing an action, living truthfully in imaginary circumstances, and working with a partner. Then you will apply these tools to a two page scene, deepening your experience with given circumstances, honing your action on stage and developing a sense of play and creativity. You'll develop a practical method for approaching scenework, and get to explore the possibilities of rehearsing and staging scenes. This class offers a more intense introduction into the craft of acting for students willing to make a greater commitment. October 4 - December 9 Sundays 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., Wednesdays 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. $620 (Tier I); $670 (Tier II) Tier level is based on household income.
