Acting Craft: Scene Study

Take your acting from technique to performance with this 8 Week Brisbane class. 

Centred around professional scene study, this course helps actors apply the foundations of acting in real scripted scenes - developing stronger emotional connection, character truth,  and on-camera performance technique.

Designed by studio founder Peter Rasmussen, Acting Craft: Scene Study is the natural next step for actors wanting to move beyond beginner training and build compelling, believable performances. Classes are taught in-person by a select group of expert tutors.

You’ll leave with stronger scene skills, greater emotional depth, and a deeper understanding of what makes performances truly connect.
