Classes

In the coming months, we are excited to announce the launch of acting classes tailored for age groups eight to ten, eleven to thirteen and fourteen to seventeen.. These classes will provide a comprehensive introduction to the world of acting, covering essential topics such as improvisation and the art of making performances believable. Students will learn about stage directions and blocking, as well as the expressive techniques of mime. We will focus on character development, storytelling skills, and the importance of movement and space in performance. Additionally, participants will receive guidance on how to effectively remember lines and engage with script work. This program is designed to inspire young performers and help them cultivate their talents in a supportive and creative environment. Tell me more about our classes
