Each course builds on different theatre/performance skill

There are no “marks” in this course, only feedback and encouragement from the facilitator. There are self-reflections and peer reflections (what worked, what could work next time), which equals a safe environment!

You will learn some theory, a new skill set, put them into practice and CREATE!

Stage technique:

Learn The Stage Map; how to “block” a scene; proper “stage presence’, etc.

Class Four

Movement:

Learn the dynamics of movement (Rudolph Laban) to build confidence while performing on stage (and in life!)
