Acting with Text will grow and improve the acting skills of the improvisor through playing scenes from classic contemporary plays such as Chekhov, Brecht and Pinter to name a few.
Students will learn:

- Use of stage space
- Awareness of vocal projection

With a limited class size of 6 students, this course is designed to give each person an active and intensive experience. Students will work in pairs on a scene selected by the course instructor. Attendance at all three classes is mandatory.
Note: this course will require students to do work at home such as memorisation.
Prerequisites: Impro Melbourne’s completion of our core courses (Spontaneity, Narrative Technique, Character Scene Work), or equivalent impro experience as determined by the Artistic Director.
