Scene Study

A committed and creative environment for the actor to renew, strengthen and challenge creative muscles, while honing script analysis and intention. The actor works towards breaking through to a new level of freedom and range. The class has a goal of technical, imaginative and physical exploration of the scene while allowing an organic spontaneity. As Lisa coaches auditions and roles in TV and film daily, both privately and on-set, she is well aware that the actor can begin to feel limited in their risk-taking. Or, if the actor is in a long-running part, they may feel unready to return to auditioning (particularly when a series regular role ends). A ready instrument and the confidence, relaxation and emotional layering that come from weekly long-form scene-study class is invaluable to the working actor. Original writing is also encouraged. As with all Lisa's classes, the actor is empowered by finding the "great director" in themselves.
