During this virtual mini-session, we will cultivate our actor's toolkit and explore how to use our bodies, voices, and imagination to create characters and tell stories. While exploring our voices we will experiment with tempo, pitch, speed, accents, and more. We will get our bodies moving, and will experiment to create a particular posture, walk or movement pattern for a character. Imagination will fuel our Character Interviews and Character Chats. We will also explore the theme "Standing Tall," and learn how theatre can help us become more confident, feel braver, and stand taller! 

Artists keep their creative antennas up at all times, and they draw their inspiration from close observation and curiosity every day. Use this class to reinvigorate yourself and your imagination, even in the most familiar of surroundings. Together our class will explore the curiosities of our new boundaries through the eyes of the characters students will create; we will discover things that we never gave attention before, and look at them in new ways. Group activities will get our creative juices flowing, but students will also be tasked with stepping away from the screen for challenges with normal objects around the home or yard. These artistic tasks are part of class, and students will share their creations back to the group each week.
