Fundamentals of Acting
“Growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous”. This ideal sits at the core of Fundamentals of Acting. An ideal class for beginning students or actors with no formal training. New to acting? Curious about the artform? What does it mean to move and say words that are not your own? And what is it to recreate the human experience and how does your humanity filter through a character? You will develop a greater understanding of acting skills, script and character analysis, and acting terminology by heightening your powers of observation, focus, invention and imagination. This is the process we will investigate in this 10 week course for beginner actors and non actors. We will work on a scene or monologue and culminate with a presentation (online) . Let’s grow and discover the joy of acting.

About Malena
Testimonials
“Fundamentals of Acting was one of those classes which made me step out of my comfort zone and made me learned a lot about myself as a person. It was a fun class where I learned about the discipline of acting.
— Sakshi Gulgulia, Student at Penn State“I loved taking Malena’s acting class over the summer. It was a great introduction to lots of different fundamentals of acting and theatre. I didn’t expect to be so engaged and have so much fun in a Zoom-based class, but Malena made us feel so safe and excited to play around!”
