Acting Classes
These progressive acting classes are considered the foundation of our program. It is
vital for a theatre student to have a working knowledge of proper terminology and techniques. These classes will be based
on character work, exploration, understanding how to use your instrument (voice and body) and scene work. We will also begin
incorporating some brief discussions on theatre history at each level so the student can have a taste of the bigger picture of
which they are a part. Teacher approval is required to advance to the next level.

Acting 3: AGES 13+ (Year-Long Course)
Thu: 7:30-9:00
Acting 3 is an exciting transition for the theatre student. Now that they have mastered the basics and have a working understanding of character/scene development, it is time to take it to the next level. In this course, students will expand their work on objectives and obstacles by exploring different tactics, expectations and environments. What is the character's motivation? There will be an emphasis on not just acting, but reacting to the given circumstances. Actors will begin working with plays with more sophisticated conflicts and characters. The student must master the curriculum in Acting III and obtain teacher approval to move onto Acting IV.

Acting 4: AGES 13+ (Year-Long Course)
Tue AND Thu: 7:30-9:00
The Actor's Laboratory Theatre is a year-long class that will focus on the relationship between the director, the actor, and the audience.
It is based on Jerzy Grotowski's Towards a Poor Theatre, which described his technique as 'actors co-creating the event of theatre with its
spectators.' The class itself will concentrate on the development of the actor's honesty in character work, discipline, and acting technique
through scene work, the fruits of which will be applied to a black-box theater production. The performances will be held at The Culture House
and will be based on collaboration between the actor and director and, ultimately, the audience.
