Class Description

In this 4 week elective, we'll practice characters of all shapes and sizes and work on using our body, our voice, and our attitudes to help create rich, fun full characters. From the subtle to the silly, we'll work on breaking out of our comfort zones and physical habits to have new ideas and find ourselves in fresh new scenes. We'll attack 3 dimensional characters with depth and a sense of internal life as well as big choice characters with fun, high energies. Pre-req: Magnet Level 1 or Instructor Approval
