WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS AND TEENS

On-Camera Acting for Kids
 (8-12) - There is never a dull moment in  this class as your child learns how to perform in front of the  camera in a fun, nurturing environment. He/she will work from scripts geared toward film and television. With the aid of video playback at the end of every class, your child will start to see what it takes to create a stellar performance. Your child’s confidence will soar as he/she experiences exercises and improvs that increase presentation skills, enhance listening skills, improve focus and the ability to think quickly.  Progress is constantly tracked by our 20 point evaluation system. Each 10 week session is taught by one of our elite staff, comprised of NYC agents, casting directors and industry professionals. Sessions culminate with a student performance night and a practice  interview with an agent or casting director. So whether you child is destined for the movies, or just wants to build self esteem and  presentation skills, this class will be an extremely positive experience.


On-Camera Acting for Teens
 (13 and up) - Teens will learn how to work  in front of the camera in a more advanced format than the kid’s class. They will explore more improvisation and scene work with a focus on character development. Teens learn to slow down  their speech patterns and learn the value of listening to other actors. Presentation and interview skills are practiced. This class will help empower your teen to achieve success in all avenues of  life. As with the kids’ class, each 10 week session is taught by one of our prestigious faculty and will end with a student  performance.
