HB Studio

This scene study class is designed for a group of intermediate and advanced students who come together from diverse and/or international backgrounds. As the world changes, the stories we tell as artists change with it, and the training of new actors must reflect this new landscape. In this class, students only work on scenes pulled from new plays (already written or currently being developed) by some working writers today. Students are also encouraged to work on scenes of their choice from plays that they feel reflect who they are in today’s world. This class is meant to complement traditional training in classical and contemporary plays by inviting the actors to experience their full cultural self in plays they see themselves in. How can we as diverse actors develop our craft and face the challenges of working on new plays all while cementing our belief in our place in the industry?
