Acting Club! (Time to Laugh and Have Fun!)

This class is for students who love to act, laugh, and have fun! 

I am a professional actor and director who has worked with students all over the world. I enjoy teaching them the skills needed to be a good actor and a lead in the show at their schools and community theatre productions.

My acting students are now in NETFLIX original movies and tv shows, along with major roles in national tours and even on Broadway. I also have students who are the lead in the musical, WICKED!

*Drop-ins always welcome (sign up any week throughout the semester if spots are available)

This class acts as a "club," so it's perfect for students that loved my "Disney Kids" and "Kids on Broadway" class and want to do similar games/activities every week, or for students with improv experience looking to do it more. 

Students will learn to act out different things and scenes with their other classmates. This class has a lot of fun learning acting techniques from a professional actor and director while building confidence and skills needed to be "a star"!

***Students do not need acting experience to participate in this class. I do a great job of getting even the shyest student out of their shell. I believe anyone can have fun and learn to be a good actor. I work hard as the teacher to build my student's confidence level and promote a positive environment for learning.

This is a smaller group club (no more than 6 students in each section), which I find works very well with the amount of games, attention, and practice each student receives. The students tend to really get to know each other and often find new friendships because of the comfortable class setting. 

Students will learn warm-ups each class, which they can keep in their "Actor Toolbox." We will play multiple games every week, and eventually repeat ones that are favorites. Games will include "Yes, And" techniques, Character Building, Genre, Dialogue, Movement, Props, and even Commercials. 

Students will be paired up, perform in small groups, and sometimes get to do one-person scenes. We will play with "breakout rooms" on Zoom, where students get to work in small groups to create scenes with a specific category or genre, and then perform them for everyone in the "main room." 

Sometimes we will do "fast-improv" games that require students to make things up on the spot, and sometimes we may do "slow-improv" games, which give students a little time to plan out fun skits in smaller groups. Each session will be catered to the students in class, because every group is different! I am constantly tweaking the games, inventing new ones that work well with each group, and taking requests from students to make sure the group is having the best possible experience.
