Peter Frisch and the Frisch Studio recently announced the winter-spring line-up of professional classes for actors. Classes will be taught in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Solvang beginning on Jan. 22. Classes are 16-week terms and open by interview and audition only.
Frisch, known in Santa Barbara as leader of the Granada Restoration, is also a widely known theater, film, and television director and producer. He’s also run the School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon and taught at conservatory programs at Juilliard, Harvard, Boston University, Cal Arts, and elsewhere.
Classes include “The Complete Package: A Marketing and Auditioning Workshop,” taught in Los Angeles and Santa Monica; “Creating Character: Techniques of Transformation,” taught in Santa Barbara; and “Comedy Scene Study,” taught in Solvang.
Solvang’s study, for intermediate and advanced actors, explores what’s funny and why. Students will investigate physical comedy, situation comedy, and comedy of character.
