ACTING/THEATER CLASSES
Students receive hands-on instruction from award-winning faculty while learning, growing, and expanding their acting techniques. This immersive experience fosters both creativity and skill development, allowing students to explore a variety of acting methods and styles. Through practical exercises, feedback sessions, and collaborative projects, students can refine their craft and gain valuable insights from experienced professionals in the industry. This unique approach ensures that they are well-prepared for the diverse challenges of the acting world.
Our acting classes explore the basics of the body, the voice, and the imagination in theatre while learning character principles. Students are challenged to create characters and improvise scenes, as well as to engage in exercises in movement and voice – all helping to build resiliency and self-confidence. Working as an ensemble, students are introduced to more challenging scripts, scenes, and monologues. Hands-on instruction in acting, creative movement, and voice fosters character development through working collectively as an ensemble.
The exploration of scene study through character development helps the actor expand through the use of spontaneity, creativity, imagination, and humor. Our acting classes are the perfect fit for teens who are interested in pursuing acting, directing, or film making. Instruction in basic acting principles and vocal technique will be emphasized, along with how the body can be used to help tell stories. Students will create characters and improvise scenes, as well as engage in exercises in movement and voice – deepening their theatrical knowledge of all areas of theatre, including acting, directing, design, and voice. Students will learn to work collaboratively, honing their performance skills through a variety of challenging classes and performance opportunities.
“ACT has helped me improve my singing and my acting while discovering who I am.”
