In my NYC Acting School: Students who want to refine their technique and have experience stage, TV and film experience are handled differently from the beginner.
I want to have the actors come prepared to do a scene of their liking. A character they would be cast in. The should be prepared and off book (unless we work from a first time reading analysis to a three step (or three week) process. I do this to show development in a scene and character.
This is a good way to work because it deepens the experience of finding the essence of the character. Once the scene is done properly, then the actors move on to another scene. I also like to have scene presentation done in full costumes for realism to the audience and actors. This helps the actor work not only from the “inside out’ but also “outside in.”
