Dancing for Actors/Acting for Dancers

 

October 19th, $30

Join us for an exciting Dancing for Actors workshop designed specifically for young performers aged 9-12! In this workshop, we'll dive into the world of acting and dance, blending them together to create powerful and expressive performances.

What You'll Learn:

  • Psychological Gesture: Discover how to use simple, meaningful movements to express your character's thoughts, feelings, and relationships. These gestures will help you bring more depth and emotion to your acting.

  • Scene Objectives: We'll explore how your character's goals in a scene can influence your movements. By understanding what your character wants, you'll learn to move in ways that make your performance even more compelling.

  • Coloring Dance Movements: Dance isn't just about steps—it's about telling a story. We'll use psychological gestures to add emotion and intent to each dance move, making your performance unique and powerful.

Whether you're new to acting, dance, or both, this workshop will help you connect with your characters and express their stories in a fun and engaging way. Let’s bring the magic of theatre and dance together!
