Acting Class, Classes & Workshops conducted at SD Acting Studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, led by Sean Dillingham, offers a series of dynamic and interactive classes that focuses on the art of acting. In these classes, actors explore spontaneity, creativity, and the ability to think on their feet.

 

A little more about Sean and why YOU should study with HIM:

 

Sean’s background is built on direct study within the three most influential improv and comedy institutions in the United States. That puts him in a lineage shared by some of the biggest names in Improv and TV.  This gives Sean the ability to blend structure and spontaneity in ways most actors never master.
