Q: How do you choose a scene to work on in your scene study class?
AO: Find a scene partner first. What approximate age range can they play? (give or take 5 years.)
* Choose a scene with players that match the age range and gender of you and your scene partner. This will allow you both to focus on the text, the subtext and the scene without trying to stretch too far in the beginning.
* Find a scene (preferably from a play) because the sides will already be in text form somewhere - and play scenes tend to be longer than scenes from movies which allow you do to an entire scene, or just a part of one.
Don't be afraid to ask for help from a teacher, mentor or more experienced actor in your class.
