Join Green Shirt instructor Helena Scholz-Carlson for a focused, hands-on scene study workshop! Helena will guide you in letting the text do the heavy lifting - helping you ground your work in the given circumstances, clarify what you’re saying, and stay fully present with your scene partner. Expect a supportive environment that challenges you to listen deeply and respond truthfully. *The scene to prep will be posted here on Tuesday, April 7*
Preparation required: Please come in with a strong familiarity with your scene. You don’t need to be fully memorized, but you should know the lines well enough to stay off the page most of the time and remain connected to your partner.
