ACTING

ACTING I with Ms Kira

Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:00 2nd - 6th grade

In this course students will learn all basic terminology for the actor as well as concepts every actor must know:  Acting is action, acting is listening, and acting is reacting. We will learn to tell stories on our feet with and without words through Improv games and exercises, working as an ensemble and a team. Students will also get the opportunity to study basic audition application techniques like cold readings, TV commercial readings, and monologues. The class will play energizing warm-up games, fun physicality exercises, and begin to explore what it means to create an honest story onstage or onscreen.

ACTING II with Ms Kira

Tuesdays 6:00 - 7:00 6th through 12th grade

This acting class consists of fun Improv games and storytelling exercises, with an expectation to begin finding deeper honesty and understanding in every scene taken on. Students will learn to express themselves with full energy onstage. We will begin with foundational acting topics and then move to more intermediate and pre-professional acting work, breaking down internal motivations for our “why” in every scene we perform or create.  Students will learn and gain confidence in audition practices with cold reads, monologue-work, TV commercials, scene-work, and observation.  Together we will have an exciting time growing as an ensemble and as individuals.

Placement subject to change at the discretion of the Artistic Director

Students will have the ability to build their “book” well gaining confidence and mastery.
