Having trouble making choices? Make your scenes easier by slowing down your scene work and tapping into what you would do in real life.

Keep heightened scenes simple by using your own experiences as a touchstone for choices, staying committed and using the environment. Note: Class will end between 2:30pm and 3pm pending on that week's exercises. Please note: There will be no class on 11/28.
