7:30pm-10:00pm EST In Person
Class 1
For your first class, you'll be assigned a scene to present in class with just Misha as she gets to know your work and prepares you for working in front of Lain. You'll present scenes that you choose live with a reader and receive feedback from Misha, and then get a recording of your work when you're done. You'll also get a chance to ask Misha questions in a live Q&A. Classes will take place at a rental studio in Manhattan.

Class 2 + 3
During your second and third weeks, you'll be assigned scenes once again and asked to present them live in class. Misha will facilitate each class while you work with Lain directly on the scene, including receiving feedback notes from her. There will be a Q&A with Misha and Lain, and you'll receive a recording of your work. You'll also be invited to network with your fellow students, as community-building is a valuable part of all Vermilion classes!
