8 weeks

Beginning week of 9/23 and ending week of 11/11

Taught by Denise Page and Ryan Van Buskirk. This class is designed for the new actor OR newish actor who would like to experience the stage in an intimate setting. This is a great course for kids who have no experience, as well as those with some experience but who haven’t had a chance to speak a lot of lines or have a featured role in a show yet… everyone in this class will get to be a star! We will focus on building self-esteem and confidence on stage, while also learning acting basics and for those students who have some experience; we will review and polish stage positioning, facial expressions, emoting as an actor, etc. Specific exercises in class will include, exploring the auditioning process, projecting and using diction, connecting to your character, rehearsing for and learning a skit/short play which we will present at our end of session showcase.
