The Players - Acting Class for Kids/Teens

Students will focus on the advancement of their acting technique and skill set. Through the exploration of sensory work, improvisation, character/scene study, text analysis, and more, participants will learn to achieve rich, natural, and honest acting perfect for stage or film.

Students will explore:

• Technique Strengthening: Go beyond pretending and role-playing and actually experience Real Life on stage or screen. Our Method-based technique centers on bringing the actor’s own life experience and understanding to character and scene work.
