Acting as Play- Tuesdays, 6-9pm: March 25- May 20

*no class on April 22nd

In this 8-week class, participants will be provided with a safe, brave space to:

Take big risks before feeling “ready”
Put logic aside to make way for a highly imaginative physical appetite/objective
Embrace the precarious pleasure of not needing to know what’s coming next
Find fun in whatever given circumstances the character has no choice but to endure
Always lead with hope, regardless of the inevitable disasters laid out in the text

Building on the work of master teachers Christopher Bayes (Head of Movement, Yale School of Drama), Ron Van Lieu (former chair of NYU Grad Acting and the Yale School of Drama) and Evan Yionoulis (former chair of the Yale School of Drama and current chair of The Juilliard School), Acting as Play is a wholly unique approach to text and scene work, centering imagination, play and vulnerability as the foundation of all performance. Over the course of the class, all participants will have the opportunity to work on a monologue and/or a scene, depending on their interests.
