Developing Your Inner Actor - Week 1

Grades 4–8 • Morning Class
Session 2: July 6–July 17

Over the past week, some of the fun things we’ve done in acting camp include:
• Doing improvisation (acting without a script) to cover acting basics and character creation.
• Bringing to life “Little Red Riding Hood” in a serious of tableaus (frozen pictures)
• Exploring “Environmental Theatre” by acting scenes outside (2 park scenes) and in the lobby of Woodley (hotel lobby)
• Developing characters with various games (Let’s Be…, Murderer, Join In) and scenes
• Team building – group clay sculpture, emotional freezes, and blind walks
• Exploring an “open scene” (a 1-page scene with generic dialogue that can be interpreted in different ways) to explore characters, relationship, environment, and conflict.
