This drama class is for young actors who may not enjoy musicals as much but love to act. Over the eight weeks, the class will creatively collaborate to develop and rehearse an adaptation from a children’s fiction or non-fiction story that teaches a moral or educational lesson. This performance will be recorded for families on the final class. While our stage adaptation will incorporate music, it will be more for the purpose of adding movement and physicality, and setting dramatic tone. Students will build confidence and social interaction skills as they work as a creative team. All students must be available for the recording of their performance on the final date. Class materials and our recorded performance will be provided through a Google Classroom.
Registration: $275 (10% off all eight-week registrations made by January 1, 2022)

Acting for the camera more closely reflects the way we perceive things in reality than acting on the stage, and requires its own unique set of skills. Explore how the camera lens can become your best friend. In this eight-week workshop, you’ll learn the basic skills needed to act and audition for television, film and commercials as well as how to set up your own camera and record your own audition submissions at home. Classroom footage will be made available to students so they may observe their progress and see how they read on-camera. (For reasons based around COVID-19, we will focus on monologues and shooting any scenes as individual shots so as to maintain safe protocols and social distancing.) You’ll also receive tips for how to find the right agent or manager and book professional work. Class materials and recordings of student work will be posted through a Google Classroom.
