On-going Scene Study is designed for actors with previous training in film and television acting. Luvia Petersen, one of VADA's top teachers has designed this class to work with the actors to develop their individual strengths and overcome personal weaknesses. Luvia has the skills to develop strong and confident performances out of new actors. OSS incorporates drills and exercises to help the actor ‘live in the moment’ and concentrates on exploring the layers of subtext and characterization in scenes. This class is on-going. Many students take the class to continuously practice developing their skills. With that being said, this class is already half full and is likely to fill up completely.

 
Past Students Testimonials from the OSS:
"This was the best class I've ever taken, I learned so much and Luvia can totally push you to the edge to work with you on your emotions and personalizations. She really works with you on character analysis and scene study so you can identify your character and separate it from yourself. This is the third time I'm taking it!"

"I loved the OSS! You really learn to breakdown everything and understand all the details about your character and the scene. It allows you to dive into it so you can learn character development yourself. Luvia is incredibly positive and it's a very safe environment to learn about yourself and express that in acting."
