Class Descriptions

Acting

Students will explore using their bodies, voices and imaginations to bring a story to life. Each class we will warm up with cooperative theatre games and fun improvisation to get creative juices flowing. Students will also build confidence and learn the value of teamwork and empathy, translating to skills both on and off the stage.

Voice

This class will focus on building confidence and technical musical skills, training in sight reading, rhythm, and vocal technique. Solo and small group numbers will be explored as well as adding theatricality and movement to a musical piece.  

Dance Movement

Students will have an opportunity each day to explore a specialized topic in a variety of areas to create a well rounded understanding of all the ways acting, voice and movement can be applied.
