Kiss Lab:
building skills for intimate scene work
with Courtney Abbott
Discover your inner romantic lead! In this short and sweet 4 week class, you’ll build skills to infuse your acting with intimacy, whether there’s a kiss in the script or not. We’ll practice self assessment, communicating with scene partners, and what the heck to do with your hands.
*No kissing required.
Dance + Coffee
with Katie DeSalvo
This 8 week class will act as an embodied haven for actors looking to move fluidly and express themselves through dance. We'll be using techniques + patterns from such styles as Argentine tango, west coast swing, and street jazz. The exercises acquired in this class hope to gift you with your own baseline for calm, a strong ability to co-regulate, heightened confidence, the sense to match your expression to the moment, honed discernment, intuitive responses to your scene/dance partners, and healthy somatic boundaries. Oh...and coffee!
Unarmed Stage Combat Certification
with Michael Dias
Come learn how to make safe and controlled choreography appear vicious and violent. In 4 weeks, actor-combatants will learn the Unarmed Combat curriculum from Dueling Arts International, and have the opportunity to test for their unarmed certification.
Focusing on the physical storytelling of theatrical violence, students will also learn techniques borrowed from martial arts and mime to make a compelling narrative. This class is open to all skill levels and will be a kick-ass good time.
Mime Your Own Business
with Michael Dias
If you don't turn your imagination into reality, who will?
Whether you're new to the world of mime, or experienced in mime craft, this 4-week class will build a foundation for the skills necessary to create vivid worlds with just your body and imagination. Mime skills are useful for any actor or performer, and the practice of transforming your imagination into a physical reality is powerful magic. Become a master of time and space and create theater from the essence of your spirit.
