About This Activity
Description
Are you an actor between the ages of 9 and 15?Are you available after school Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4pm to 6pm?Then what are you waiting for?Sign up now for one (or more) of the Majestic Theatre’s Youth Production Company’s Spring mini-sessions! Our Spring MTYP program is divided into three two-week sessions to allow young thespians who are unable to commit to six-week sessions to have a chance to shine onstage! Students may sign up for more than one session if they so choose. Rather than a full weekend performance, on the last Thursday of the mini-sessions students will showcase their hard work right after the final class. Families and friends are welcome to join us in the Rehearsal room from 6:30-7:00 for the showcase. Each session is designed to focus on building skills in one of three main elements of acting: movement, voice, and character. This session focuses on devised theatre - working together to create original performances from scratch! Students will team up to brainstorm and develop their own stories, characters, and ideas using movement, voice, and imagination to bring them to life. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of devised theatre: creativity, improvisation, ensemble work, and story-telling techniques. Each group will work together to explore themes, experiment with theatrical styles, and discover how collaboration can lead to unique and powerful performances. At the end of the session, students showcase their collective artistry by performing their own original pieces - no props, costumes, or set pieces necessary!
