This learning intensive bootcamp style course is designed for the serious teen actor who desires to bring their acting skills to the next level. Although no previous acting experience is required, this class is ideal for those who have previous stage experience.

Each camp day starts off with a vocal and movement warm-up, using various exercises focusing to strengthen the actors speaking voice (Speech, diction and articulation). During the time we will also spend time warming up the actor's body, releasing tension and stress from the body while preparing for the work ahead. 

After the warm-up, each day actors will participate in a series of constantly rotating fun and educational acting exercises, which will focus on a specific acting technique. (Sense memory, focus, memorization, visualizing etc.)

Halfway through each class learners will apply the instructed technique of the day to an assigned scene from a published play. During this time each actor will go into rehearsal with their assigned scene partner(s). The instructor will then divide the learners into breakout rooms, traveling from room to room one at a time, giving personalized instruction/direction to each group. During this time actors will be encouraged to make strong character choices as well as learn how to effectively make the words they are speaking effectively come to life. 

During the last fifteen minutes of each class, we come together out of the breakout rooms to perform for one another. At the end of each class the instructor will assign homework and memorization for the next day. Students will receive ample feedback form the other students and the teacher. 

At the end of the camp week, students will be a part of a performance showcase and perform their scene for for family and friends.
