In this drama class, students will develop their own stage adaptations of stories from different world cultures and history. (A new culture is explored each session for recurring students.) Together, they will learn basic stage skills and direction, explore character development, creative use of movement, develop stage-speaking skills, and build confidence! At the end of this course the students will present this performance for an invited audience (with costumes, props, minor set pieces, and stage lighting). This acting class promises to be fun, exciting and memorable. All students must be available for their performance on the final date, March 16 (make-up dates in case of weather or emergency cancelations March 23 and April 6).

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. Build confidence, presentation, social and public speaking skills. 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. If students elect not to hold a performance, we will provide parents with video clips of student work from the class session.

Very different than acting on stage, acting for the camera is more intimate and the camera picks up so much more detail than can often translate on stage. This class will explore scene and monologue work for TV and film performance and auditions. 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! Students will have a chance to review their work on screen. Video clips of their work will be made available to parents and students after the end of the session.
