CLASS: AP3 - Scene Work

AP3: Scene Work

About the Course:

AP3: Scene Work, is about taking that next step in scenes. While AP2 focused on the beginning moments of a scene, in AP3 students are challenged to play with more complexity and style, juggling it all within a scene while always maintaining their strong point of view. 

Aspects of this class include:

• Acknowledging the realities of your scene partner
• Scenic development: Finding the Highways and Bi-ways of a scene to extend its length
• Managing context without getting in your head (the who/what/where/when/why/etc.)
• Creating specific, surprising choices
• Playing with Opposites and Curve Balls
• Creating and playing with multiple patterns or games in a scene
• In-depth three person and group scene work
• Protecting and Playing the Freak
• Learning how to repair a scene that isn’t working
• Managing forms and style
• DaDa scenes (playing fiercely without needing to “make sense”)
• Justification: how to use it not out of fear but as a tool.
• Personal challenge and goals based on individual feedback
•

Students must have completed AP2 to take this course.
