AGES 9-12
Creative Dramatics
Anastasia Barnes

A class for kids 9-12 with emphasis placed on developing listening, interacting and reacting skills by participating in theater games as a group. Students will discover creativity and how big their imaginations really are! The goal here is to develop a strong foundation to become a confident and skilled actor. The first thing to remember is that you must forget. Through a series of structured exercises devised to work with and develop an actor's skills in the areas of imagination, listening, concentration, focus, and response - you will begin to learn this ability. Acting is a craft, and learning the components of an acting technique take time and practice! You are on your feet in every class, participating in each exercise - developing confidence and developing an understanding of the Basics of Acting.
