Acting Up (6th through 8th grades)

Activities are designed to increase the range of the young actor vocally, physically and emotionally.  In this time of transition, students receive encouragement and strategies for managing change and conflict that are applicable to real-life situations and to improve their work on stage.  Students will develop a clear understanding of where they are in their creative process, and figure out where they want to be through theatre games, monologues, neutral dialogue and scenes.

F.A.S.T. Track (9th through 12th grades)
 
F.A.S.T. stands for Fundamental Acting Skills for Teens. In this class, students explore the craft of acting and begin to develop a way of working that balances talent and inspiration with technique and method.  Activities use Stanislavski’s principles as a foundation while exposing students to diverse schools of thought and other acting philosophies.  This class expands the range of the actor through the creation of honest, engaging relationships for the stage.

Improvisation (6th through 12th grades)
 
Who are you?  Where are you?  What are you doing?  What is your relationship with the other characters?  This class asks and answers the important questions of acting as it focuses on developing improvisational skills through both short-form improv games and long-form improv activities.  Prerequisite:  Students must have taken at least one prior acting class.
