Available to schools September through January. Evenings and weekends year round.
The Mime, Mask & Movement Workshop is a fun exploration into drama, without words getting in the way.
It begins with a basic introduction to the technical elements of mime, such as isolations. We will then move onto expression of character, thought, emotion, and stories, by using only non-verbal means. We will also work with masks to see how this affects how we can express ourselves as actors. Masks are truly amazing. They can help to magnify the effectiveness of non-verbal acting, and are an excellent way for shy participants to feel more comfortable when getting up in front of other people.
Cost: $150, plus travel expense (from Fergus, ON) where applicable + GST
Stage Combat is a safe and effective means of creating comic and dramatic scenes of action. Learn how actors create the illusion of physical conflict without getting hurt.
A very caring and gentle art, created by actors, for actors, to create the illusion of physical conflict. The fighting on TV and in movies is just a trick that you will know how to do! Stage Combat is rarely taught outside of universities or professional acting studios in major cities, and rarely, if ever, taught to younger age groups. This is a unique opportunity to learn this exciting and surprisingly safe art form from a professionally certified Fight Director.
