What happens before the big 11 o’clock number? How can you enrich the moment before your ballad? How the HECK do people learn monologues and scenes?
In this two-week intensive workshop, young performers will explore the essential building blocks of acting, focusing on monologue and scene work to develop the skills necessary for compelling storytelling on stage. Through engaging exercises designed to free the imagination, enhance concentration, and heighten awareness, students will dive into the fundamentals of acting with a playful and improvisational approach.
Participants will gain tools for physical and vocal mastery, script analysis, and synthesis techniques that bring scenes and monologues to life. Whether preparing for musical theater or straight plays, this program will empower young actors to approach text with confidence and creativity.
