I've been teaching theatre since 1996 and have produced countless shows with cast after cast. There are a few basic lessons that every new actor must learn before they are ready to audition for a play and receive a script. This class will cover those basic lessons in an age appropriate and fun way! In this class students will learn the basics of creating a character for stage. They will experiment with finding character voices, body movements and consider stories and emotions behind character motivations. It is a first step to performing on a stage. Variety in Voice Experimenting with high/low, fast/slow and accent is a good way to start. All exercises are with teacher modeling and mimic so students will feel comfortable (basically, I'm so silly that no one worries about looking silly themselves!) Body Consciousness How to use one's body to convey a character. How does this person walk? What do they do with their hands? How would they stand/sit/move, etc? Let's play! Ms. Jackson made up a game called "Introduce Me!" where they create characters from silly names and hobbies and it's so much fun!
