Level Two: Authenticity meets Specificity
As covered in Level One, what is happening in the moment is far more interesting than the idea of it in your head. In this Level Two course, we will continue to unlock your truth in the moment while further honoring the specificity of the story. During these 6 weeks, you will work on 2 scenes. The focus will be on fully embodying the circumstances of the scene and living truthfully within the story. We will explore how available you can be to your partner and how deeply you can surrender to the moment while also honoring the story details. Dates/Times:

It's the first time I have been 'in the zone', working from my own genuine authentic place that was pure unbridled, unthought-out me since my return to acting (after 19 years) 7 months ago. This is not my first acting class, (I have been committed to driving in from CT weekly for my training) but it's the first time that I had a teacher intuitively work from the inside out and not just shout out guideposts! It was powerful!" - Dana Bruton
"I am gobsmacked! It's been a long time since I felt this good and this authentic in my work. What you're doing at AGR is full spectrum. With AGR Online I have access to real time current events and with the intensives I get to develop the relationships that this business thrives on. And now with Sarah's class I was able to get grounded and present in the craft and art of my work like never before. Sarah's class will better prepare me for the intensives I have scheduled in the Fall." - Ramona Floyd
"I wanted to send you a quick note about the 5 week scene study class I just took with Sarah Baskin. Sarah was amazing! I learned so much from her, both from watching her work with others and from the specific guidance and recommendations she gave me regarding my own work. It was incredible! I want to be able to bring my A game when I perform, and I can honestly say that Sarah has helped bring me closer to achieving that goal. I already signed up for her next class at AGR." - Stephanie Weppler
