Description

Take a class focusing on solo acting. Actors will leave this class with comedic and dramatic monologues, both  classical and contemporary. A play is a series of scenes strung together. Come explore the nuances of both.  Students will discover what character type best suits them. They’ll learn to infuse truth into characters, focus on  and listen to their scene partner and bring a playwright’s vision to life. All these skills will translate into  stronger auditions and performances. Select appropriate monologues (classic and contemporary, dramatic and  comedic), learn to analyze rhythm, themes, and structure of a monologue, learn how to receive and give  feedback and critique, and strengthen individual acting skills. Participation in Showcase at Valor Christian Academy is optional.
