Thursday   

Scene Study Class is a follow-up course to the Introductory Acting Workshop. With basic acting skills under your belt, scenes will be assigned at the beginning of the course to dive deeper into how to bring them to life. Learn the tools needed to fully develop a character and identify the relationships in your scene. Feel the emotions of your character, learn about internal dialogue and the importance of body language. Learn tips to break down actions, identify transitions, and make powerful choices to achieve a believable story. Analyze the playwright's words to get to the root of what is really going on in a scene. Learn blocking (moving within the scene), and work with props to add dynamics. By the final class, we will have fully rehearsed and directed scenes to show off to friends and family. (autographs optional!)

Ever wonder what goes on in a biology lab? Well here is your chance to take a step into the world of biology by performing your very own biology experiments. This course will start out with a class on the basics in performing work in a biology laboratory where we will cover the use of various types of pipettes, graduated cylinders, digital balances, and more. The labs that follow will consist of determining the presence of macromolecules (carbohydrates and proteins), the effect of pH on solutions, extracting DNA from plant materials, gel electrophoresis and a visit to the new BSU maker space to see how their equipment can help with labs in biology.
