Ongoing classes:
• Scene Study Workshop:
Mondays 7-11pm with Bjørn Johnson (Award-Winning Actor, Director, Acting Teacher and Fight Choreographer)
A focused, intense, and safe environment in which actors are free to explore their craft, technique, and instrument. The class experience begins with a brief conversation with Bjørn regarding the work of some of our great teachers and recent insights and experiences within the industry and the actor's craft. The class then participates in an individual warm-up and relaxation exercise ("a relaxed instrument is an available instrument"). Following a short break, the class continues with prepared work: scenes, monologues, songs and exercises, gleaned from some of the great teachers of Acting.
Four classes for $150!
Classes held at Catchlight Studios (home of Kelsey Edwards Photography) on 633 N La Brea, 90036
