INTRODUCTORY ACTING CLASS

This class is highly suggested for kids 10 years old and under

• The beginning steps of the same acting skills and themes taught in the intermediate/advanced class
• A slightly slower paced class which encourages the student to ask questions and learn the techniques of acting from the beginning steps on
• A strong focus on building the student’s confidence in themselves and in letting go of fear of performing in front of others
• In this class, the teacher also evaluates the student’s learning style, confidence level, emotional needs, and develops a teaching plan for each individual student
• Great class for a trained actor who has developed bad acting habits and needs to relearn the skills from a new perspective. (such as a theater-trained actor who needs to learn how to tone-down “theater acting” and approach acting from a more organic and internal level

 INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED ACTING CLASS

This class is highly suggested for teens

• A faster paced class where students are challenged to utilize their acting skills to the max, as they learn new and more advanced skills
• Many acting challenges are given which builds even more confidence
• Great class for trained actors who are looking to continue growing in the art of on camera acting and seriously considering a professional acting career
  •
