Importance of Classes on Acting Skills/Career Progression
Ok please bear with me for this question.
I have been taking weekly classes for 2.5 years now and have learnt an awful lot but now feel like I'm not getting as much out of the classes as I should be/as I'm paying for. The issue with the school I'm currently attending is that there are no levels so whoever comes along is in the same class even if it's their first class (absolutely zero issues with people who are just starting out as we were all there once!!! It's more from a progression stance) so we are quite often hearing the same questions/answers over and over again rather than having the opportunity to delve deeper and progress.
Unfortunately, there are no other classes close to me that offer decent alternatives. I was considering taking a step back from class for a few months and working on personal projects instead and/or use the money I'd spend on class to go to workshops with CDs/agents.
Would it be really stupid if I did this or is that just part of the industry?
