LINX Theater Company instills confidence and creativity through drama and comedy education designed for kids in 4th through 9th grade. This class will help future theater professionals understand what will make them valuable contributors to the craft, as well as help kids opting for other fields of study. Both will gain a unique perspective and an advantageous ability to innovate as they work together as an ensemble.
Program Details
In Company Theater, advanced players start to learn nuanced elements of verbal, physical and emotional performances that can affect an audience without their realizing it. They learn how to make an audience member root for, fear, laugh at or despise the appropriate character. The separation between actor and character becomes complete, as performers understand that nothing about their character reflects on them.
Adaptations of classic stories and intriguing original works provide balanced roles that delight players and audience members alike. Players are constantly challenged to take roles they have not experienced before, stretching their abilities and keeping them from being overlooked by future directors.
Your child will learn:
- Character development
- Story telling
- To understand how stories can be re-told and the process of invention
- To combine voice, body and emotion into dynamic performances
- To perform better than their peers
- Confidence in creativity
- To innovate
- How to work together as part of an ensemble
Mandatory Acting Technique Class
All Company Theater students are required to register for an Acting Technique class which will help them achieve triple-threat status—skilled in singing, acting and dance. This class is included in the Company Theater rate.
