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.
** Minimum class registrations required for this class offering. **

(If you have signed up for this class but would like to be moved to the dance class after casting, please let us know and we will make that change for you) **
