Past Ensembles Have Shared:

  • Contemporary drama

  • Heightened text or poetry

Repetition Is The Growing Power! 

By taking the class multiple times, actors learn to make their technique habitual, and their skills compound. This allows easier access to emotional states, and increased ability to live in the present. No two sessions are the same, and every new group offers unique points of view to learn from. But most importantly, it’s also a lot of fun!
