Testimonials
"I really loved the intensive! I learned so much and it was very enjoyable! I really liked how we were always working in the class. When someone was doing their monologue, we were answering questions about ours. I also learned a lot about analyzing great actor’s work. I have never really looked at cinematography in that way before and it was super interesting and helpful! Another thing that was incredibly helpful was character analysis! I really liked how we took a deep dive in learning everything about the characters we were playing. The questions we answered are definitely going to be questions that I will apply to every monologue I do in the future! Beyond working on the craft, something I didn’t expect to get out of the intensive (that I did) was learning so much about the business! You created such a safe space for us to be creative and ourselves! I looked forward to the intensive everyday and I am honestly so sad it is over"
