Overview

In this class, students dive into short scenes to explore character, motivation, and storytelling. They learn to analyze dialogue, understand subtext, and bring their characters to life with authentic emotion and expression. Through acting exercises and rehearsal, students build their confidence and acting skills while also learning how to support their scene partners. Students receive feedback from the instructor and peers to refine their scenes and strengthen their scenework. The class culminates in a sharing where students perform their scenes for friends and family. 

Given the nature of this class, attendance is crucial. Please make sure your child is available for the dates listed below. There will be some required work outside of class, including line memorization.
