UPCOMING COURSE OPTIONS FOR 2013-14:
TEEN ACTING (Autumn-Winter-Spring courses)
The Teen Acting Autumn/Winter/Spring course is divided into three terms and covers some of the basics of voice and body work, relaxation, creating character and improvisation, all done in a supportive and fun environment. The AUTUMN and SPRING terms include a public presentation in the last day of class, and the WINTER term is for process only, and does not have a presentation. Students may take one term or all three. It's suited to the beginning actor for building confidence and increasing creative abilities, OR for more experienced teens interested in practicing and developing their acting technique. We will delve into the acting process during the course, and in the production terms we create a performance particularly suited to the participants. This is a highly creative process calling on the imaginative participation of all in the group. All students taking the AUTUMN or SPRING terms must be available and committed to the presentation day at the end of the course. Note that the Saturday prior to the production and the production day/evening will have extended class times.
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.
