Savage Wonder Scene Study w/ Christopher Paul Meyer

After a two-year hiatus, scene study is back!

Building on the acclaimed acting classes offered by Veterans Repertory Theater in 2022–2023, Savage Wonder Scene Study is a new, focused training experience under the direction of Savage Wonder founding artistic director Christopher Paul Meyer.

 

Details,

• Dates: Sundays, July 20 – August 31 (6 weeks)
• Time: 3–5 p.m.
• Location: Savage Wonder Studios, Beacon, NY
• Tuition: $300 per person (first 6-week session)
• Future sessions: 4 weeks / $250

What to Expect,

This is a scene-study class—actors will come to class having prepared a scene in advance and will work on their feet, performing in front of Meyer and fellow students. Each session includes:

• Scene work and performance feedback
• Targeted notes on character, objectives, listening, emotional truth, beats, and stakes
• Occasional acting exercises drawn from Stanislavski, Meisner, and improvisational techniques to sharpen instincts and deepen work

While all skill levels are welcome, this is a serious studio environment. Actors are expected to:

• Come memorized and scene-ready
• Respect their scene partners and take feedback constructively
• Prepare outside of class and treat the work professionally

Participants must come scene-ready, with memorized work prepared to dive deep. This isn’t community theater—it’s a professional-level actor’s studio, drawing on the successful format developed for veteran-focused repertory work two years ago.
