Erica Arvold returns to Nashville! During this 4 hour in-person class, Erica offers on-your-feet instruction, individual direction, and collaborative discussion. As a participant, you will create character, apply craft tools, and gain confidence in your on-camera work. This on-set-style scene study intensive is the hallmark of Erica’s approach to directing, and includes the ten step warmup to amplify authentic, original performance. Scripts are provided. Dive into preparation… and you will fly!

  • "Erica's class was such a breath of fresh air into script analysis, scene work, and the overall process. What a way to really dive into any role. I can't recommend her class highly enough."
