Level Four: Senior Project - La Ronde with Rick Andrews

Full...

Check below to see the full schedule for each session, see if your class skips a week for a holiday, and check out the date and time of your class show(s).

Class Description

It all comes back. The La Ronde is a longform centered around a circle of characters and the ways their world?s connect. Students will work on fostering connectivity between players and establishing strong grounded characters to create some powerfully funny scenes. To complement this circular form, students will be learning and performing, ?in the round," with the performers in the center, and the audience arranged around them. Everyone's connected. It all comes back.

The eight class sessions are followed by a four week run of shows, giving students an enhanced opportunity to learn by doing, over time, in front of a real audience. Prerequisite: Magnet Level Three
