Acting Classes at Everyman Theatre

Acting 1: The Actor's Tools

This five week class invites students to isolate, explore, and integrate each fundamental tool in the actor’s instrument to create dynamic characters. Activate the body, exercise the voice, engage the mind and release your imagination. Each class allows time for the actor’s to explore these tools and then integrate them in the context of story and text. Students learn to use themselves in new and exciting ways as they segue their own stories into workable text to practice sound text analysis strategies. This class culminates in monologue work and peer critique, and is a requirement to take Acting 2 and 3. NO CLASS FEB 18 This class and program is now full.
