Encore! Adult Acting Class
INTRODUCING
A hands-on acting workshop for all experience levels.
Whether you're new to acting or have years of experience, Encore! offers a chance to build your skills and dig deeper into the craft. Through monologue work, scene study and individual coaching, students will explore character, relationships and what it takes to bring a scene to life. We'll work on making strong choices, active listening and responding in the moment, taking direction and preparing for auditions. Students will have time to work on material, receive feedback and learn from one another in a supportive setting. Come ready to challenge yourself, try new things and grow as an actor!
