Let’s Pretend

(ages 4-7)

Improvisation is one of the most unique skills that all people must have! It forces us to think “on the feet”, stimulates imagination, thinking abilities and reaction. For an actor improvisation is the most important skill as it strengthens acting choices and stage presence. Children have natural ability to act and react honestly as they use their imagination and truly believe in their "made up" character. This class will give young actors an opportunity to develop their improvisational and speaking skills and gain self-confidence necessary to act out on stage. The class will act out an improvisational story at the end of the session.

Stage Adventures

(ages 4-7)

Young actors will bring their favorite stories to life through theater improvisation. While exploring a story, students develop skills in using the tools of an actor: body, voice and imagination. Through theater games, creative movement, music, observation exercises and original scene development students explore the stage.  The class will perform an improvisational play at the end of the session.

Imagining  who you are...

Monologues will be provided for each student and can be also used as audition pieces for your next stage adventure! New games and activities will be added in each class to help children gain confidence while having loads of fun!
