These gentle and playful courses explore acting and drama games in a creative and supportive environment. Using the tools of the acting process, we can increase each students ability to bring their inner world to life and have a great time while doing it! Students are encouraged to be expressive and imaginative while strengthening their abilities to observe and make choices about the world around them.  During the AUTUMN and SPRING terms, we will be creating an original piece to be performed in a presentation on the final day of class for invited family and friends. Note that the Saturday prior to the production will have an extended class time. The WINTER term is for process studio work only and does not have a public performance at the end.  The SUMMER months include week long "Drama Camp" options. Class size is limited to 12 students in order to maximize the experience for all participants. Discount €20 for siblings!

COMING NEXT:

This course is a one-week romp in drama to explore the creative process in a supportive environment with no performance pressure! In 5 half-day sessions, we will explore the same fundamental aspects of the acting process as in the performance classes, including the voice and body work, improvisation, theatre games ,ensemble work, and devising stories to be performed in the classroom. The students will keep a journal-style book of images as a keepsake. This is a low pressure, playful, summer-time excursion into the imaginative world of creating stories and characters. Class size is limited to 12 students maximum in order to assure the highest level of attention for all participants. There is usually a wait list for this course, so reserve early! Discount of €20 for additional sibling.
