This class will adapt to the students abilities. If they’re a dancer- they can explore acting though movement. If they love to sing they can learn how to convey emotion and discover truth in the song. If they write they can look at developing their skills for performance. Classes will be inspired by methodologies such as Meisner, Clown (Gaulier), Chekhov & Theatresports.
