Online registration is now closed. Please call 617.353.2994 to see if space is still available in this program and to register.
Utilizing popular song from stage and screen, students will learn to “sing a story” by exploring the various voices that can be produced by using appropriate vocal techniques. Students will connect voice to posture, gesture, and full-body movement through improvisation to create vivid characters. They will “dance a story” by learning to use creative movement to bring a story to life. Not all actors need to dance, but learning how to use a creative and flexible range of movement will help young actors feel more confident on stage, develop physically interesting characters, and add another skill to their actor toolbox. A final demonstration for family and friends will take place on the last day of class
