This weekly acting course, with sessions for ages 5 -10 and 11 -18, will focus on acting technique, vocal technique and basic movement. During this first term, we will cast the production, focussing on fun skills-based sessions which give young performers a chance to hone their talent while showing us what they can do! In addition, everyone we will begin to learn the movement and music which will be needed for the final production, in combination with games, exercises and scene work to develop the range of skills needed to perform musical theatre.
Participants will:
-
Develop their self-confidence, problem solving, and public speaking skills through acting exercises/rehearsals.
-
Experience being part of a full production, performed in a real theatre.
-
Be assigned individual roles and helped to develop them.

Learn character development skills, as well as acting, singing, and dancing techniques. Then put them into practice during rehearsals.

Make new, like-minded friends.
Our musical performance will be at Het Amsterdam Theaterhuis in July 2022.
