GROUP CLASSES
Practice together
Join award winning actor Ryan Kelly in class, practicing what you love. Each class gets you moving. Each class gets you thinking. Each class gets you connecting!
Breathe. Move. Risk. Grow.
Group classes are offered throughout the year, generally as a four-week series. The focus for each series varies, but each session in the series will include a warm-up and work based in movement, risk-taking, and connection in a safe and supportive environment. Students will explore techniques and exercises to improve their acting skills through connection to impulse, breath in the body, and presentation of text.
Classes are open to all - beginners to professionals!

In this class, actors will be given scripts and will work in pairs to create compelling scenes filled with energy and discovery. Using scenes from plays and/or film and tv, the class will breakdown text, work through physical and emotional points of view, create character foundations, and then practice letting it all go in the moment. Scene Study classes will focus on stage technique or on camera technique, depending on the session.
