Technique Lab III
april 14 – june 16, 2026 | TUESDAY 7 – 10PM ET
The third and final class in the Technique series is an in-depth, advanced scene study class that focuses on implementing Practical Aesthetics within the rehearsal room. Students are cast in scenes from great contemporary plays, which they rehearse through the duration of the course. The instructor functions as director with the goal of discovering with students how we instill performance habits that help us to give our all, 8 shows a week, or 20 takes in a row. In addition to deep script analysis and heightened moment work, students enhance their ability to craft a scene by bettering their acting “chops” and finessing their performance through stagecraft, physical grounding, and impulse work. Outside rehearsal time is required between the weekly classes. The class culminates in a workshop presentation in one of our studios for an invited audience of students’ friends and families.
Additionally embedded in this curriculum is work on a single monologue of the student’s choosing. Those who successfully complete Technique Level III are invited to share their monologue with members of Atlantic’s artistic staff at a showing scheduled the week after the conclusion of the course.
Application and interview required.
