Scene Study & Viewpoints

Instructors:
Jeff Perry
Alexandra Billings

Location:
Art/Works Theatre & Studios
6569 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90038

MAP

Scene study and Viewpoints combine finished two person scenes with the Viewpoints process as an added tool. We use Viewpoint training in direct application to helping to create characters, text analysis, and playing with and discovering new ideas between two people.

Along with traditional scene study and with the actor’s own process already in tact, Mr. Perry and Ms. Billings work alongside the actor to bring new ideas, spark the imagination and ignite a passion and a fire in the actor that otherwise might be ignored. This is a unique and always helpful way in looking at classic and contemporary text.

Alexandra Billings

LOFT Ensemble Theatre

MAP

This class concerns itself with the primary elements of Viewpoints. The work consists of working the individual Viewpoints as tools for auditions, scene study, monologues, and both stage and TV and film work. There will be scene wok involved, but no memorization is required. This class is about process. It’s about opening up, discovering new ways to attack a scene, and finding out how the individual actor really applies themselves. No previous Viewpoints experience is necessary. This class works for novices of Viewpoints or advanced.
