Acting (Ages 11-16)
This week-long class, appropriate for all experience levels, will show students how to use their bodies,
breath, and voice to better perform on stage or speak in front of a group. Students will discover how
they have developed “social armor,” or ways to hide themselves, and – using acting techniques – they
will strip off the tensions they hold in their bodies and allow themselves to be seen. Using stories from
their own lives, the week will culminate in a performance where students will show and relive a moment
of their lives that brought them fear, joy, and love.
