These classes will teach you devising methods to strengthen your acting skills and develop your performance talent. They will teach you how to create character and use performance techniques to develop original, powerful live performance.

The classes will engage your imagination and improve your ability to interact and collaborate with others. You will develop and discover your own creativity and spontaneity. The course will culminate in a showcase of your work to an invited audience, giving you an opportunity to develop your live performance skills.
