   Theater Arts-Acting and Show Production(Vaudeville)Tell a Friend!
 
      
Theatre is art, and as such it mirrors and reflects life. In this series of four, three-hour workshops, we will review our knowledge of the theatrical experience, the role of the actor and audience, the technical perspective and enjoy the ease of performance. We will learn differnent aproaches to acting, play theatre games, try out some interesting role playing and present our favorite character piece (a monologue or short scene). These workshps are intended to create a safe haven for students to experience a series of exercises to develop their theatrical imaginations and improve their stage skills. Embracing tools such as: space, characterization, timing, atmosphere, emotion, movement and stroytelling, students discover the artist/creator within themselves. This work is collaborative and requires the supportive energy of all involved. Rehearsals and show dates will be decided in class. This class is primarily for adults ages 55+. Adult learners under 55 are welcome on space available basis. Min: 12. You may register online for this course with a credit card at www.adultedreg.com/santacruz/
