$25 annual registration fee | | Acting Skills and Techniques Activities are designed to increase the range of the young actor; vocally, physically and emotionally. In this time of transition, students receive encouragement and strategies for managing change and conflict that are applicable to real-life situations and to improve their work on stage.
Building a Character This class explores the dynamic of the person, the actor and the character, addressing concepts of getting in character, staying in character and transitioning out of character in a direct and relevant way. Students will learn what these phrases mean and, more importantly, how to incorporate them in their work.
Monologues and Dialogue Individual strengths and areas needing improvement are identified in an interactive, fun and collaborative atmosphere. Students will develop a clear understanding of where they are in their creative process, and figure out where they want to be through theatre games, monologues, neutral dialogue and scenes.
Cre-8! Students will create a series of original works within the realm of a specific set of circumstances. Eight-minute scenes, eight-person improv games, and eight-second storytelling will create (pun intended) a forum for showcasing their work of the year and individual growth. | | Rehearsal Hall:

Plot development strategies and the arc and climax of dramatic conflict will also be identified and explored. Students interested in directing will have the opportunity to work on scenes as well.
