Imagi-Motion: How Actors Use Their Bodies, Grades K to 2
Imagi-Motion: How Actors Use Their Bodies, Grades K to 2 - (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
Instructor: Alexandra Cahr
Mondays, 4:15pm to 5:15pm
9/18, 10/2, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20
*No class 9/25 (Yom Kippur) or 10/9 (Columbus/ Indigenous Peoples Day)
This class is a dance/ movement class to help students build confidence in movement and learn how actors can use their bodies to create characters and tell stories. Young performers will build comfort and confidence in learning to use their bodies as acting tools. Acting requires more than words. Actors and dancers 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, and choreography 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.
Registration: $136 for all eight weeks or register as a drop-in at just $20 per class.

This class is a skill-building and confidence-boosting class in how to prepare for various auditions: singing, acting, and dance. Does your child wish to audition for the next big show, but lacks confidence or isn’t sure how to properly prepare for what’s expected? This workshop is designed to help! Students will build confidence in their skills and how to present themselves. They’ll learn how to pick the right song for themselves (that showcases their vocal and acting ability), and exactly what 32 bars of that song to audition with. They’ll also build confidence in tackling cold readings from scripts, as well as dance auditions. By the end of our eighth week, students will learn that auditions are not meant to be intimidating, but an opportunity for hopeful actors to shine!

This class is an exploratory workshop for both new and experienced script writers. Bring your ideas to the page! Explore the process of developing a script from thesis statement to final draft: creating a thesis that will get your script boldly started, developing characters, dialogue, conflict, dramatic tension, setting up humor and timing, and providing actors with a clear storyline and path to follow. Laptops or other electronic devices will be used for those who have them available, and scripts will be shared using a classroom drive. (For those without laptops or devices, Curtain Call does have a number of laptops available for student use in the classroom.) Students will also have the opportunity to hear their pieces read in class, and engage in constructive and productive feedback. The final class will culminate in a reading of student work for family, friends, and invited guests.
