Description


Building a bold and believable character takes more than just saying the lines. Physical exploration takes thought and practice. In this in-depth acting class, students will choose a dream role and step fully into that character writing original monologues, creating costumes (can you say storage unit FIELD TRIP?!) working with hand props and creating a “character creed.”  Come prepared to work together, make BOLD choices and  build an interesting and well rounded character from the script to the stage.
