(A new mini-musical is explored each session for recurring students.) Students will be cast in various roles and provided with a script and recorded music tracks.

**Make-Up Dates (in case of weather-related closings): 3/23, 3/30
Young actors will build comfort and confidence in learning to use their bodies as acting tools. Acting requires more than words. Actors use their bodies and facial expressions to inform the audience of what kind of personality they are, and what they are feeling and thinking. Just simply how a character stands or how they walk can tell us an awful lot about them. (A giant would move very differently than a mouse, for example.) In this class, students will use music and movement exercises to get in tune with their bodies creatively, and explore how body language, posture, gesture and facial expression can be used as effectively as a costume in order to create a character. They will also use masks and work with props.
**Make-Up Dates (in case of weather-related closings): 3/25, 4/1
This low-pressure class environment allows students to explore a variety pack of acting tools and techniques for budding young talents including improv, character creation, scripted scenes/sketches and commercials, without the pressure of rehearsing and preparation associated with putting on a show.

Highlights of the students’ work have often been presented in a showcase for an invited audience at the end of the session if the class is comfortable.
*No class 2/22 (Winter Break for most area public schools)
**Make-Up Dates (in case of weather-related closings): 3/22, 3/29
Acting on-camera is very different than acting onstage. On stage, actors must be “larger than life” so they can be seen and heard all the way from the back of the theatre or in the balcony. Acting for the camera comes closer to reality than acting on stage, and is more intimate. The camera can zoom in as closely or intently as needed, and hones in on what exactly the audience should see. Learn how to best present yourself on-camera and explore auditions, commercials, scenes for TV and film using actual, network and professional scripts. You’ll also pick up useful tips on how to book professional work and industry tricks of the trade!

Anyone can memorize lines, but an actor has to bring their character and dialogue to life through “truth.” How does an actor approach a scene and how do they recreate, process and control emotion? How do proper breath support, body language, physicalization of character and intention each play a role in the success of an actor’s performance? How do actors discover, process and respond to what is in the scene around them, and how do they convey their objectives and obstacles to the audience? Learn how to find clues in the text that relate to who your character is as a person, their objectives and obstacles, and how to make character-driven choices that lead you to a more truthful performance. Explore techniques that push you to greater heights, build confidence, help you become a stronger scene partner, and a more well-rounded actor.

Teen Scene and Sketch Writing, Grades 9 to 12 (This class is no longer available.)
**Make-Up Dates (in case of weather-related closings): 3/25, 4/1
Writing the sort of content you see from Saturday Night Live or Key and Peele is about more than simply doing something funny for the sake of being funny. Solid writing always comes from forming a strong central idea, then utilizing humor to explain your idea to the audience. The same applies to dramatic forms of writing: each scene of a play must center around a strong idea around which all dialogue and character choices are built. In this class, learners will identify themes that they are passionate about, format a strong thesis about those themes, then evolve those thesis statements into an original piece of writing where their unique creative voices shine. By the end of this class, you will not only present hilarious content to your audience, but you will identify who you are as a storyteller and deliver comedy that speaks to your audience in the unique way of which only you are capable.

Improv is unscripted, allowing artists to draw from their own instincts, shed their inhibitions, and build confidence and ease onstage.

These skills also apply to social, presentational, interview, and business situations. In this eight-week class, you’ll develop creative reflexes through a series of theatre games, impromptu scenarios, and character and team-building exercises.
