SIX WEEK PROFESSIONAL SERIES WITH DIRECTOR SCOTT MAJOR - JUNE
6 WEEKS. 3 SCENES. WORKING AT A FAST PACE.
Led by multi-award-winning director and actor Scott Major, this 6-week Scene Study class recreates the pace and pressure of television directing in an intimate studio setting.
Designed for experienced actors, this class demands speed, precision, and full commitment. It sharpens your ability to take direction, adapt quickly, and deliver under pressure.
HOW THE SERIES WORKS:
This is about getting out of your head and into the work. Over the 6 weeks, you’ll work on:
3 scenes
A new scene every 2 weeks
A new scene partner every 2 weeks
There’s no time to over-rehearse or overthink. The work keeps moving! The focus is on staying responsive, adapting quickly, and continuing to work as things shift.
