Acting is a craft. In this class, you will learn the tools of the trade. Hone your craft by developing awareness and mastery of your instrument. Learn to relax and focus in stressful situations. Develop your creativity by accessing your imagination and expressing your emotions. Discover what “finding your motivation” means by exploring and playing an action. But that's not all!

Integration of the mind, body and spirit are required to fully embody a character and bring life to the stage or screen. An experienced actor utilizes his mind to analyze the script, activate his imagination, focus and concentrate. He understands his body and senses when it's dynamically aligned (good posture). He is familiar with the way his body moves and gestures. This awareness allows him to create characters that walk, gesture and speak differently than him. He in control of his breathing, and therefore is capable of actively relaxing at all times. Responsive to his impulses, he is emotionally free and expressive. Ultimately, the synthesis of mind and body allows the actor's spirit to be released resulting in more presence on stage and greater opportunities for transcendent moments in performance.

Goldilocks is a defiant girl who will not help around the house with chores. When she is grounded for lying to her parents, she runs away into the forest. When it begins to rain, she finds a little house and slops inside to keep dry. It turns out it is the home of The Three Bears who are out on a stroll to pick up trash while their porridge cools. Meanwhile, Goldilocks explores the house and samples their breakfast or porridge, and tries out their chairs and beds! She finds Baby Bear’s bed is “just right” and falls asleep. Find out what happens when the bears return home and discover sleepy Goldilocks in their house!
