Step into the spotlight! In this playful and imaginative introductory acting class, young performers will explore the fundamentals of acting through activities tailored to elementary-aged students. Students will learn basic stage vocabulary and performance skills while building confidence in performing texts. Through acting exercises and scene work, they’ll explore how actors create characters using physical and vocal choices, imagination, movement, and simple costume ideas. Young performers will also practice important stage fundamentals such as articulation, projection, body awareness, staying open to the audience, and working together as an ensemble. This class encourages students to take creative risks, use their imaginations, and have fun while bringing stories and characters to life in a supportive and encouraging environment. Throughout the semester, students will collaborate to create and rehearse a short, original performance to share with family and friends on the final day of class.
