ACT 1: Acting Fundamentals

Ages 5-7

Recommended for new or beginning acting students who want to participate in the next play or musical, Beginning Acting covers the fundamentals of acting through sensory, observation, and relaxation exercises and games. Beginning actors will learn and practice good habits of basic stage movement, blocking, and body work in order to learn to move and act with purpose. This class will provide actors with the groundwork to take the stage with confidence and culminates with a fun mini showcase on the last day of class.

ACT 2: Acting in Performance

Ages 8-14

Recommended for students who are currently in or planning to participate in a play or musical production, this class focuses on meeting the needs of each actor, and working to get to the next level of performing for an audience. Through learning and application of techniques, we will work on setting each actor’s goals and finding and fixing performance gaps through individualized coaching on techniques and methods for performance. The second half hour will focus on extension of the craft by digging deeper into character work, objectives, relationships, and putting the words to action to develop a scene or monologue that engages the audience into the world of the character.
