Acting
Through acting exercises and theatre games students are given an introduction to the Meisner Method on Acting, teaching them how to give realistic performances through emotional connections they can understand. This Method is then applied in partnered or small group scene study, as well as in monologues, which allows students the creative freedom to build and develop their own characters from the ground up. Foundational structures and language used in the theatre are also taught, so that they are prepared and can feel confident in any theatre setting they find themselves. Finally, they will receive many opportunities to perform, on our in-house stage, during revue shows at the end of each session. And, of course, they will have fun!
This program runs in 10 week sessions in the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons culminating in a performance on our in-house stage for friends & family to see.
Typically this program is taken in conjunction with private Voice Lessons to help performers learn proper vocal technique and placement as well as increase their vocal range.
