The advanced class will work with students who are fully versed in the repetition exercise. The class is available for those who have previously studied the Meisner Technique and have met and spoken with Fran one on one. If the student has not studied Meisner, but has a rich background in acting they may be asked to take a month in the beginner class and present a monologue audition as well.

The advanced class will continue to work with repetition, relationships, complex circumstances and begin the practice and study of emotional preparation. Emotional preparation gives the actor a tool they can use to awaken a truthful and emotional life at the start of their scene. This will help the actor connect with themselves as well as with their scene partner. 

Advance Class students will also begin scene work, starting solo with either a monologue taken from a contemporary song or working with the analogy book Spoon River. The idea of how to break down a scene and character development will be added. Upon completion of this, actual scene study work will begin within the class from actual theatre or film scenes. The study of a scene will involve both utilizing the entire film or play or just learning how to work within the confines of only a few pages of dialogue ad actions.

ADVANCED CLASSES ARE NOT OFFERED AT THIS TIME
