Kids ages 12-16 are encouraged to enroll in a week long intensive program focused on film acting techniques during February Vacation week! In this fun, challenging class, students will have the opportunity to learn professional film-acting techniques and watch their performances played back on a TV monitor. Students will use stories from their own lives, as well as selected monologues from commercials, TV shows, plays, and films. Students will be given a digital copy of their work at the end of the session.
