In this class the majority of the time will be spent with the actors working together as an ensemble while exploring existing long form formats as well as experimenting with new ideas and impulses which will be encouraged and experimented with as the class attempts to push both the form and the actor to new heights. Some classes may focus on one area or aspect of the actor or performance. Other classes may be used by the instructor as a general diagnostic class where the instructor will help each actor work through any performance problems or issues that may be occurring. Each class will be unique to allow the freedom to structure the class to the needs of the actors, and the ensemble.
