Improvisation for Stronger Choices, Stronger Acting: Creativity & Confidence (Ages 7-12)

If they could channel all their wonderfulness towards a specific objective, they would be fascinating.  This class is a must for all young actors.  It breeds confidence, creativity and will help take the young actor out of their head.  If you’re in your head, you’re getting in your own way.  This class is about collaboration, adaptability and creativity.  We’ll accept all things coming to us and add to it.  This enhances listening skills, teamwork and leads to stronger audition choices.  Our enhancement exercises avoid competitiveness or stressfulness.  We encourage quick thinking and teamwork in a safe and inclusive environment.

Confidence, Spontaneity, and the power of YOU! Sometimes our feelings of self-consciousness and fear of being embarrassed tend to activate every defense mechanism in the mind, body, and voice. Consequently, the walls come up and we turn into safe versions of ourselves, suppressing every natural and instinctual urge to be funny, silly, and real, at the risk of appearing flawed or simply (gasp!) human. But, if you’re taking the craft seriously and/or currently auditioning, this must not come into play. You must be able to take big chances and leave it all in the audition room.

Our Improv class is the safest environment to take the biggest risks! It is one of our most popular classes because it’s less about doing (performing, acting, forcing) and more about being. Strengthen your auditions by being comfortable in your own skin! Get out of your head and trust yourself, as you learn to make solid choices and go with your gut.  This will lead to wonderful moments in your acting, as some of the best lines and choices in movie history came from the willingness to improv in the moment.

Dare to have fun! And, you’ll see the difference in your auditions! A must class for all actors!
