to behave logically and naturally. Concentration and relaxation are emphasized through sensory
exercises, scene work and improvisation. Proper speech and voice are emphasized during every class session.

Classes
Acting
Beginning actors learn to behave logically and naturally onstage. Sensory technique is
integrated with improvisational work, scene study, character development and monologues. Relaxation and concentration are stressed. Students are
exposed to various techniques including: Spolin, Stanislavski, Hagen, Strasberg, and Meisner.
Broadway Dance
This class taught by a Broadway level choreographer. It is recommended for students between the ages of 6-15. We welcome all dancers
(beginners through advanced) and guarantee to make each student shine! Classes will be split into groups according to ability.
Every dance will be from a Broadway show and choreographed to fit the needs of the students. The trimesters will progress building up the dance
routines ending in 3 show ready songs. The fall and spring trimesters will culminate in an in-class recital. The winter trimester will
culminate in
performances in the March 8th showcase. They will perfect common moves and dance genres
including jazz, modern, tap and ballet. Students will learn to pick up routines quickly like an audition setting.
They will learn how to perform within group numbers and learn placement.
Creative Drama I - II
A journey through the world of mime, sound, rhythm, movement, and improvisation. Classic
children's stories and sensory exercises are used to increase awareness, strengthen concentration and inspire
creative spontaneity and imagination. Demonstration/performance class at the end of term.
Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre
Students get a combination of proper singing technique and the tools to "sell" a
song. Each student moves at their own pace and therefore will prepare as many
songs as they can handle. By the end of the semester each student will have a
variety of audition ready songs which they will perform at the end of semester
recital and at the Off-Broadway Showcase at the end of the Winter Trimester.
Spring Trimester
Poetry, and professional commercial copy are used to offer on-camera experience. Speech and
voice, oral interpretation, audition techniques and interview skills are stressed to encourage poise and confidence
for the shy as well as the aspiring professional. TV and film scripts may be
introduced based on the skill level of each individual class. Script focus
is age appropriate monologues or 2-4 person, 10-20 minute scenes.
Student Ensemble
The Company
This is not a class. It is an ensemble of students who are performance ready. The students go immediately into rehearsals.
They perform at a well known Off-Broadway theatre in NYC. The students are given the opportunity to display
their talents in singing, acting and dance. We will also have the opportunity to invite prominent agents, managers, and casting directors
to give on-camera and stage workshops to The Company members. Acceptance into The Company is by audition only.
