scene study

Taking it to the next level

This advanced scene study acting class will run from Thursday, March 26 to May 7, 2020 (7.30pm-9.30pm). This acting course is best suited to those who can commit to all or at least 80% of the classes and can be reliable scene study partners outside class time. Participants will have completed Level 1 and Level 2 of Act The Maggot – so you will already have the experience of developing a character, analysing text, vocal production, memorising lines and performing on stage. You may also be a professional actor in between jobs and decide to take this scene study class just to stay fresh and connected to your craft.  We choose material from all corners of the world, from the canon of great Irish theatre, from British, American, Canadian. We also take scenes from films and TV shows. We are now in the golden age of television writing so there is so much amazing material for scene study class at our fingertips.

Working with a scene partner

The main objective is to provide a platform for students to build characters and learn how to work with a scene study partner. This is a different experience to working on a monologue. It may be a bit nerve-wracking to work with another actor in a scene but the pay off is huge. Live theatre is so exciting. The scene study class results in a live theatre performance the week after the last night of class. There may be one final dress rehearsal on the Saturday before the performance. The scene study showcase will take place at 7pm on Thursday, April 30, 2020. See the picture above – this is a bunch of very chuffed maggots after they performed live. They were brilliant. Friends and family are welcome to come and see your showcase. Limited class size.
