Teacher Spotlight: Scott Organ

Doug GoldringCommunity, Training

We’d love to introduce you to one of our incredible TBG teaching artists, Scott Organ! Read our interview with him below…

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

SO: As a playwriting teacher, I enjoy witnessing the moment playwrights unlock something both surprising and inevitable in their writing. As an acting teacher, I enjoy the inevitable moment an adjustment changes a scene, affects the story, and brings out surprising and real behavior.

What is a TBG tool you love to use in your own acting journey?

SO: I often return to script analysis as an actor and writer, particularly thinking about the shape of a scene. Where does the scene end? Okay, so we probably start somewhere far away from there. A scene is a journey and change happens within the scene.

What is a project that you’ve been a part of that you are proud of?

SO: I have a new play, Diversion, which will be going up at Premiere Stages at Keane University in September, followed hopefully by an NYC production. (Editor’s Note: Diversion was part of TBG’s recent Spring Reading Series!)

To take a class with Scott, try Professional Acting Weekend Workshop starting 7/13, or Commercial Audition Weekend Workshop starting 7/20.
