Class Experience

In this ongoing interactive class, students will learn and practice acting skills from a professional actor.  All classes will begin with vocal and body warm-ups.  The students will take part in group exercises as well as solo work.  The student actors will develop their acting skills while participating in acting games, improvisations, character, and scene work. Each student will perform during the main activity to reinforce what they have learned.  All activities are modeled for the students and self-expression is encouraged! 

*There are 4 themes of focus in the club and the activities vary and change every week:


Week of  March 16th:    Acting with Props
Week of  March 23rd:   Acting with Emotions
Week of  March  27th:  Acting with Characters
Week of  April 6th:       Acting Games

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!  I'm Cherita Armstrong. I am a professional actor from New York City.  I use acting techniques as a vehicle for young people to increase their presentation and communication skills as well as encourage their overall self-expression. It's quite wonderful to see how students blossom in a short amount of time. I will be teaching Acting Skills and Public Speaking.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience. For over 7 years I worked as a teaching artist in the New York City public schools.  As a teaching artist, I taught acting, reading and writing skills, poetry performance, and public speaking. I worked with history teachers to create short theatrical scenes that reinforced what the students were learning.  I have also directed after-school drama programs for middle school students. I have worked with primary school children teaching letters and numbers via storytelling.  I have taught ESL online to children 4-16.years of age. I'm also an audition coach for kids. 

I hold a  Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications/Dramatic Arts with a minor in Theatre from Utica College of Syracuse University.  As a professional actor, I have worked at NY and regional theatres, on network television shows, films, and commercials. 

Learning acting techniques can help in building a child's confidence as they learn communication and presentation skills that will last a lifetime. I believe in creating a  fun and encouraging environment so they can flourish!  When I am not teaching or performing I love reading a good book, yoga, hiking, thrift shopping, and eating guacamole!  

I am also the author of OUT OF THE BOX FUN.  25 Creative Activities To Help You Connect With Your Young People.
