About the Course:

This course will incorporate different styles of theatre to build skills while providing a fantastic outlet for creative and social energy. Starting with mime and tableau, this class will expand the student's ability to incorporate movement and expression creating a strong foundation before moving on to vocal projection and dialogue. At the end of term the students will prepare a short presentation they will perform for friends and family. With lots of theatre games and activities, the students will be engaged in a fun environment that will help increase confidence and growth.
