In terms of the Acting Class, what are some of the activities that can happen?
The first ten minutes of the class consist of a physical, vocal and diction warm-up, which is a very important habit for young actor/ actresses to practice. The following ten-fifteen minutes are spent working on concentration exercises; which is accomplished by playing a variety of theater games. Most of these theater games are done with the whole group and they help develop concentration, energy, self-expression, spontaneity and teamwork. These are great life skills as well! The next fifteen minutes are spent on imagination work and getting participants more comfortable expressing thoughts and ideas within the group. This also is a very important component of acting training as well as acting terminology work and how each child can apply it to become a skilled performer. The last fifteen-twenty minutes are spent on each individual child sharing about themselves with the other children. This is can be done through imagination work, actual stories, and group/initial improvisational work
