Scene and Monologue Study, a deeper study of the craft of acting designed for intermediate and advanced actors, is taught by actor and director Bob Rogerson. Rogerson, who holds a master’s degree in classical acting, has taught at university and professional levels for many years. His popular classes offer tailored individuated instruction, addressing specific issues based on each actor’s strengths and needs. He uses an eclectic mix of teaching methods drawing from Stanislavski, Meisner, and Strasberg as well as voice and ear training and movement.  

“It’s never ‘one-size fits all.’ The goal is to identify and apply appropriate choices grounded in the text and to lead the actor to create a connection,” says Rogerson.Classes meet Mondays for six weeks, July 23-August 27, from 7:00-10:30 pm (enrollments past the date of the first class may be considered at the instructor’s discretion). Students will have the option of continuing the study through two more sessions in the fall and winter.

Andrea Aboulafia who took Bob’s class for two sessions, says: “Through Bob's teaching I feel that not only has my acting improved and become more well-rounded, but the depth and knowledge of what it means to be an actor has increased as well.”To enroll or receive further information: www.wctheater.org/classes
