IN PERSON LIVE ACTING CLASSES AT OUR LOS ANGELES ACTING SCHOOL

MONOLOGUE ACTING CLASS:

Our acting school in Los Angeles teaches actors the practical tools for preparing both contemporary and classical audition monologues. The teacher will help you to find appropriate material that is well-suited to you.This class will prepare you with the right material to land you the perfect manager or agent.

The goal is for actors to finish the Bootcamp Monologue class with a repertoire of monologues for any audition.

The goal for each actor is to leave 2 contemporary (1 comedic 1, dramatic) and one classical audition ready monologues: contemporary comedic and dramatic, classical comedic and dramatic, one “out of the box.” Students will select and bring in their own material to work on, as well as receive suggestions from the acting coach.

Thursday 11am – 2pm with Kate Bloomberg 

Stella Adler Technique – Level 1 – 4You will learn the Stella Adler technique and explore the language and principles of Stella Adler’s approach to acting, including action, circumstance, and justification. You will develop a foundation from which to build yourself as an actor. Stella Adler believed that an actor’s talent lies within his imagination. She trained with Stanislavsky and studied the method but didn’t believe that an actor needs to relive past experiences to connect with the character.Mondays 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm 

*To ensure the health and safety of everyone the following precautions will be implemented

Students will:

1- Wear a mask at all times (except when on stage as provided below).
2- Sit at least 6 feet apart (Our theaters offer wide and open spaces perfect for social distancing)
3- When performing a scene or being on camera, students will be able to remove their mask but will have a huge see-through plastic divider placed between them and their acting partner.
4- Wash hands before entering the theaters and during breaks. Theater chair armrests and door knobs etc.. are cleaned before the start of each class and during lunch breaks.
