Calling all actors, DND players, comedians, and storytellers! Join us as we explore the exciting art of bringing characters to life on stage. This class will introduce students to the fundamental tools of acting including vocal projection, body language, and portraying truthful relationships. Through improvisation games, full-group activities, and small group scene work, we'll investigate how to bring stories to life from first read to final performance.
Come join a supportive group of students as we harness our creativity, embrace spontaneity, and speak confidently on stage!
