In Acting Basics and Stage Performance, we will be learning about the basic movements and stage directions used in theater as well as tips for performing and portraying a character. This is a one-time class, but I encourage learners to participate in my future, more in-depth acting classes after completing this one! Acting is a full-body activity, so please don’t expect your learner to be sitting still and quiet during this class. We will get up, move around, and deliver lines out loud. While part of the class will be simple lecture, the majority of the class will be active learning as we develop the basic skills of acting. No required prior experience or knowledge and no materials needed- come ready to learn and ready to act!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to identify basic "vocabulary" of theater, including stage directions and terms found in play scripts.
Students will also practice moving confidently onstage as well as "projecting" to deliver lines in a character voice.

External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Mrs. Ballasch, but you can call me Mrs. B :)
I'm a nurse and help take care of kids' health most of the time, but I also LOVE acting and performing in plays and musicals! My goal is to help people learn to live healthy lives as well as learn to express themselves through acting and other performance arts.
My husband (who is also a teacher) and I live in Chicago, IL with our bearded dragon, Spyro.
