SKILL BUILDERS

SATURDAY 11:30AM – 1:00PM
Skill Builders will take their acting skills and understanding of performance to the next level. Term 1 will focus on movement, embodiment, and character. How can our bodies express complex emotions, ideas, and feelings? How can our bodies help us tell stories? Skill Builders will work with their facilitators and each other to use these concepts to dive deeper into character development and creation.

Participants in Young Makers will develop the skill set to collaboratively devise new work that speaks to the issues that matter to them most. Young Makers will explore acting, writing, dramaturgy, and direction.
