Workshops

A workshop meets regularly over a period of weeks to develop a specific set of skills.  Workshops have a planned scope and sequence of learning outcomes.  There are both group and single-student classes, and they are offered at multiple times throughout the year.  It may also be a unique session that presents a special topic or a master class that focuses on developing an awareness of specific skills.  All workshops are hands-on, so the learner can expect to be actively “doing”.

This spring we are pleased to offer a variety of acting workshops.  Unlike the training that we do in conjunction with a project, these workshops stand independently, and are not linked to a final production.  There's something for everyone!
 
Spring 2012 Workshops take place at:
 
Enrollment deadline is March 15.  Each workshop must reach the minimum enrollment in order to run.  Sign up here.  Full tuition is due (check or cash) on the first day the class meets.
 
 

PLAY Maker: spring break Theatre Camp

Write, rehearse, build and perform an original play in 5 days’ time.  The "bare bones" workshop production will be filmed on the final day.  If you are age 15 or older, you may apply to enroll in this workshop as an intern -- which means tuition is waived, and you will be given leadership duties.

Acting with Accents

Are you auditioning for Newsies?  Then you’d better brush up on your Brooklyn accent!  From Ireland to the American South to Southern California, people speak English in all sorts of funny ways.  In this workshop, we will be exploring all sorts of dialects.  You will get to perform scenes with characters who require such accents.
