A diverse group of people sit, stand, and kneel for a group photo after the acting class with instructor Bates Wilder.

Laughs and lessons occurred in multiples at the June 3 New England Local Conservatory in Boston led by SAG-AFTRA New England Local member and acting coach Bates Wilder. Through a series of focus exercises and interactive games, Wilder engaged attendees to practice their acting techniques. This included exercises in communicating with their scene partner without using words and exercises in quick thinking and quick reactions. Wilder encouraged participants to keep it simple, focus and breathe before they start. There were many educational and amusing moments for participants.
