Character Creation: How to Take your Onstage Character to the Next Level!

Have you ever felt like your character in a show was missing something? Want to find a way to bring depth to your acting like never before? Then come join us! 

In this course, you will learn how to create fully-developed character from start to performance! Each student will create an original character and develop a backstory, motivations, physical acting choices that fit the character, and more! Each student will then get the chance to write a short monologue to perform as their character, incorporating all their new tools into their acting choices. On our final day, we will host an in-class party where each student will come as their character and have a chance to improvise interactions using their new skills! 

We will also look at scripts from different shows and learn about how to develop a character backstory from little hints throughout an existing  script. 

Come play with us, and take your onstage characters to the next level!
