Class Description:
In this 6 week course (which includes a free one on one coaching session on Zoom), 8 people will have the opportunity to work with Pandemonium co-founder and faculty member Gabriel Levey on their audition monologues.
The course will start with an open discussion about the graduate school audition process and why the pleasure of the performer is the most critical, and often overlooked piece of the process. We will then move into individual monologue work, using the language of clown and games as a means to draw out as much fun, wonder and surprise as is possible in each piece. Everyone will be up on their feet with text in each class. After 5 weeks of play, we will put it all together with a mock audition on the final class.
Over the last 5 years alone, Gabe has assisted individuals get accepted into the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, Juilliard, NYU, Brown/Trinity Rep, Columbia, The Pig Iron School, Steppenwolf, The Actor's Theatre of Louisville, CalARTS, UCSD in addition to RADA, Guildhall, Rose Buford, and Central School of Speech and Drama in London. COME PLAY!!
**This class is not exclusive to folks auditioning for MFA programs. While there will be a focus on grad school auditions, it is meant to serve all actors looking to work on monologues/solo material**
