Acting Foundations A

This class covers basic acting skills including diction, character work, projection, blocking, and memorization. 4 times throughout the year, students receive a featured speaking role in a one act play to further develop their skills. There is also an auditioning workshop in January and a puppetry workshop in May. This class does not cover singing or dancing as it is a foundational class to help students develop confidence in acting.
