with Judy Prescott
Introductory Stanislavsky technique and principles. Final presentation of Scenes and Monologues
In this foundational acting class, mentor Judy Prescott will work weekly with actors to begin to introduce and exercise the key, playable techniques and methods of the Stanislavsky Method. Stanislavsky principles have stood the test of time, and are still very much part of core training for actors around the world – for both stage and film work performance.
Judy will also get you onto monologue and short scenes to rehearse, work in class, and then present.
