  • Beginner Acting I: The Basics

    Yifan W. • August 28, 2024
    It was a transformative experience for me. In the past 8 weeks, our class went from strangers to close pals. We played “zip zap zop” games, memorized each other's names, acted out skits, learned the 5 W's - what, why, where, when, and who - and performed play excerpts and monologues. I explored a different side of myself - a more verbal, aggressive, louder, more expressive side. The acting tools we learned are not only useful in acting but in real life, such as conversational tools, you know what I mean, casting, the unimportant, urgency, impulse, gun drop, and more. The class made me feel so emotionally secure that I cried while acting Prima Facie. I am thankful for every member's 100% commitment. It was an unforgettable experience.
  • Improv I: Fundamentals

    David R. • August 13, 2024
    I had a great experience with Improv I. Samantha was an excellent teacher who was able to get everyone to relax and actively participate and be invested in classes. I'd recommend taking the class for those at a beginner level who want to get started in Improv, or even for anyone who's just curious about what Improv is.

    Melanie H. • October 20, 2020
    John is a great teacher and a fun person. Those are critical for learning. Nobody wants a teacher who is judgey or mean or just not fun. For such a short class, I learned a ton. Thanks so much John!

    Patricia B. • August 28, 2018
    I'm so happy I told this class. The class was a hands on immersive experience in creating a film from a short scene. It felt like one week too short. I learned a lot about what aspects of filmmaking I'm interested in and will pursue more thoroughly. Worth the money and time!
