Weekly Classes


Acting Up! I ~ Gr. K-2, Session I-IV

Let’s start at the very beginning… how do I tell a story using movement, voice and facial expression? This introductory class is a great way to begin your theater training.  Our instructors are all working theater professionals. With them you will learn the words used in theatre, how to move on stage, how to create physical characters, tell a story through movement and action and much more. Even non-readers will learn basic storytelling skills by being exposed to literary ideas like the beginning, middle and end in storytelling, and understanding exposition, narration and dialogue.   The class will culminate in a sharing our work-in-progress with family and friends.  As you will be part of a performing group and other students are counting on you to be there for rehearsal, consistent class attendance is a must.  This class is developed as a year-long course, however new students may enter at any session. At least two sections of this class are required as a pre-requisite for students interested in Acting Up II next year.
