 Workshops for School & Summer Vacations:

 

TEENS:

1) Improvisation: includes many Theatre games like the TV show " Whose Line is it Anyway. Improvisation is an excellent Tool for actors in todays world--it prepares you for anything...learn to think on your feet, perform in front of a live audience, hone your speaking skills and build your overall confidence.

2) Monologues: Learn to command the stage yourself in a powerful monologue. Receive personal coaching and direction on your work in front of your peers.

3) Scenes: Learn the importance of Team Building as you work on scenes with your fellow stagemates in front of your peers with personal coaching & direction.

ELEMENTARY:

Workshop #1 – Ages 5-10           Dramatic Play (Elementary School)
This workshop focuses on preparing school-aged children to become comfortable, confident and aware on stage. This workshop employs a series of theatre games, warm-up activities and some actual on-stage experience to teach children the basics of acting and lead up to a last day showcase.

Workshop #2 – Ages 11 and up          Incredible Improvs (Middle-School)
This workshop assumes that the participants have some theatre experience, and would like to further develop their talent. Many of the same techniques as the Elementary Drama are employed on a graduated level, along with Improvisation (Like “Whose Line is it Anyway”) and some improv scene work resulting in a last day performance.
