Our Class Rules

It really DOES!

but only if we remember the following:

The Classroom Code

1. Keep the drama on 'stage', embrace the theatre in the room. Be present!

2. Keep an open mind and take theatrical risks.

3. Always say YES! Be 'available.'

4. Do not chat with friends while performances are happening or we are giving instructions.

5. Respect the space and each other.

6. Sit next to a different person everyday

7. HAVE FUN!!!


During performances:

When an individual or group is performing please remember:

  • to not interact or respond to people performing, save applause for after, and comments for only when asked.
  • to keep active engagement - posture is respectful, eyes are forward
  • to not have side conversations with other actors.
  • to be prepared to participate in the discussion after.

When you are performing as an individual or as part of a group, please remember:

  • to be present within your 'space' and maintain your focus
  • to KEEP PERFORMING until the coaches say freeze, or pause, no matter how distracting the audience or an outside situation might be.
  • to stay motivated and committed to giving your best performance no matter how small the role or short the performance.
