Class Experience

***This class is part of the Movie Bites Learning - Young Storytellers and Aspiring Moviemakers Series. These classes can be taken in any order and are designed to celebrate and encourage big imaginations. Very my full profile for details on other Movie Bites Learning classes.***

On a film set, the relationship between the Director and Actor is key. The success of this bond relies on communication, understanding and a sense of mutual exploration. 

In this game-based class, students will kick start their creativity as they participate in a series of fun, interactive exercises that focus on movement, close listening, clear communication, and having fun while working as a team.  

Designed to allow open ended experimentation with lines and character, these playful activities are sure to inspire big imaginations, young storytellers, aspiring actors and future filmmakers!
