Act 2 is formatted with longer classes to better suit the teenage needs. Students receive personal instruction and coaching on assignments. This format effectively allows students to develop and test their acting talents. We delve into the subject matter and take a little extra time for fun with theatre games.

Registration

Student Enrollment - Full classes 4-6 students

Class Structure - every class will follow this basic structure: Warm ups, review, perform assignments, practice and critique, new topic lesson, activities and games that reinforce lesson, explain new assignment. 

Class Curriculum - Acting Out Loud Classes are designed to build confidence, develop tools: voice, body, & mind and to give students several on stage opportunities. Each session works with a specific tool to facilitate student learning.  There are six sessions offered by Acting Out Loud: Character Movement, Character Voice, Character Creation, Actor Movement, Actor Voice,  and Actor Creation. The lessons and assignments advance in difficulty as students move from Act 1 to Act 2 to Act 3.

Class Ages - A variety in age helps the students to be brave, less inhibited, and more creative in encouraging each other.  So we won’t be separating classes by age beyond the Act 1, 2, & 3 classifications.  If your student doesn't quite meet age requirements for a class or workshop, but you feel they are ready for a certain class they may be enrolled with permission of the teacher.

Workshops - are taught daily for 5 to 6 days in one week. All are taught for 90 minutes except the Advanced One Act Play which is taught for 180 minutes.   

Costumes - May be rented from Broadway Attire for Hire for a $15 rental fee and $3 cleaning fee.
