Acting & Improvisation classes focus specifically on building acting skills through acting and improvisation games and exercises. Students will develop/present their own ideas, interpretations of their understanding of characteristics, behaviors, motives and how to apply those principles to a scripted scene or play. Classroom activities include developing a theme as a class, blocking and taking stage direction, scene study, and how to organize our own individual ideas when telling a story as a group with the end goal of getting those stories/characters on their feet. Students learn to act serious, silly and everything in between. Each teaching artist will customize the class based on the abilities of the students enrolled.

CLASS POLICIES

Ages: Classes levels are determined by the school grade in which the student is enrolled in as of Fall of 2023. No experience necessary.

Final Showcase: Each class will host a showcase on the final day of class. Especially for our younger students, these exhibitions won't be complete or polished theatrical performance, but will be a showcase of the activities from the classroom. Our classroom focus will be outside of memorization and the rehearsal process and instead will focus on skill development.
