(Youth) Acting Workshop - Getting to Know Your Character

Getting to Know Your Character (and Yourself) is a one day intensive led by Teaching Artist, Emily Evey where participants gain hands-on experience analyzing a character by comparing and contrasting their character to what they know most: themself. Using writing exercises, movement improv, breath, voice, and mindfulness techniques, and theatre games, students will get inside the mind and body of a character of their choice. Please note character choice is on a first come, first serve character basis. In between exercises, students will have opportunities to share their insights and reflect with their peers and the teaching artist. By the end of the intensive, each student will have a repertoire of exercises they can apply to better understand any character throughout their acting career, experience with peer-led analysis and critique, and increased movement, breath, and analysis skills.
