Theatre Classes

Theatre classes serve as a foundational exploration into the world of theater arts. Students will learn about the history of theater, the roles and responsibilities of various theater professionals. Through practical exercises, you will develop basic acting techniques, gain an understanding of stagecraft, and explore the nuances of character development. These classes typically culminate in scene work or short performances that apply learned concepts.​

​

Voice

In Voice classes, students develop the fundamental skills necessary for effective vocal performance in theater. Through exercises focused on breath control, vocal resonance, articulation, and projection, participants learn how to enhance their vocal presence on stage. Techniques in interpreting and delivering dialogue, monologues, and songs are also emphasized, helping students cultivate a versatile and expressive vocal range suitable for various theatrical genres.

 

Musical Theatre

Musical Theater classes combine acting, singing, and dancing to prepare students for performances that integrate all three disciplines seamlessly. Participants learn to interpret characters through song, explore vocal techniques specific to musical theater (such as belting and vocal dynamics), and develop choreographic skills necessary for ensemble and solo dance numbers. These classes often include repertoire from classic and contemporary musicals, allowing students to refine their performance abilities in a supportive and collaborative environment.

 

Improv Acting

Improv Acting classes focus on spontaneity, creativity, and quick thinking. Through a series of improvisational exercises and games, students sharpen their ability to think on their feet, develop characters on the spot, and construct compelling narratives without scripted dialogue. These classes encourage risk-taking and collaboration among participants, fostering skills in listening, reacting authentically, and building scenes organically. Improv Acting classes are not only fun but also invaluable for enhancing acting versatility and confidence in live performance situations.

 

Choreography

Choreography classes explore the art of creating and staging dance sequences for theatrical productions. Students learn principles of movement, rhythm, spatial awareness, and storytelling through dance. They study various dance styles relevant to theater, such as ballet, jazz, tap, and contemporary dance, and discover how choreography enhances character development and advances plot elements within a performance. Practical experience in choreographing both solo and group routines is a key component, empowering students to express narrative through movement and contribute creatively to stage productions.
