More About This Class
This fun and rewarding eight-week course will cultivate creative spontaneity, acting skills and collaborative story crafting through improvisational activities. Each week, students will rotate through a choice of stations, including improv games, improv puppetry, improv dance, and musical improv. Enhancement of stage presence, effective use of expression and physicality to convey meaning and the overall development of the student as a vibrant, engaging, memorable young actor will be key goals of the curriculum. While there will be a strong emphasis on comedy within the course, students will be led to increase their capabilities as dramatic actors as well. Within the instruction offered, the nurturing of performance skills will be implemented in a very supportive manner through the joy of improv with fun lessons that encourage freedom of inventiveness.
This course will prove to be valuable to any young person as it facilitates aptitude in reacting and responding to unexpected situations, builds confidence, fortifies teamwork/ensemble skills, inspires the use of creativity, promotes original thinking and encourages collaborative story crafting. Following the last class, students will be showcased equally during an entertaining closing program.
