Acting and Improv: The Zero-In Series

Welcome to Acting and Improv: The Zero In Series! Join Bruce Hunter and Erica May-Wood for Four fun-filled Saturday mornings of learning and laughter at the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre. This series will kick off on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time and run until November 8.

Whether you're a seasoned performer or looking to try something new, this series is perfect for all skill levels. Get ready to unleash your creativity and hone your skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

In this new four-part series, we'll focus in on a spefic element of acting and improv; this round will be on character. We'll use a lot of games, writing, movement, accents - even playing cards - to develop rich characters of all sorts.

So if you have an inner diva, nerd -or diva-nerd hybrid- or any other character busting to get on stage...c'mon down.

Your facilitators:
