What’s In Store For Week 1:
Week 1 (MAY 31st, 2025) – IMPROV & VOICE
Improv is a magic tool in the actor’s back pocket - especially for commercial actors! These skills can be used across any acting discipline – and even help you in life! Boost your confidence, loosen up and become more playful, and be ready to accept and adapt to “change up your performance” if asked by the director. We’ll strengthen some core improvisational theatre theory, apply some improv techniques, and set you on a path to use “play” in your work.
