They say acting is one of the scariest adventures you can take: it's also one of the most thrilling. Acting from the Heart and Head is a dynamic, invigorating class designed to help students access their greatest force and freedom. Working on monologues and scenes, the class focuses on several aspects of the actor's process: grounding and trust, imagination and experimentation, characterization, script analysis, partner work, and improvisation.
