Act Up! A Four-week Workshop

This workshop series is for all levels of actors, from beginners to seasoned community theatre actors and professionals.

Building on the exercises in the the introductory acting “Playshop,” OX will guide students in developing their acting skills while customizing workshop content to the group. In a user-friendly environment, students will learn by doing. Attendance at the introductory session is not a prerequisite for attending this four-week class.

Theatre games and exercises will include non-verbal and verbal communication, creating characters, and script analysis.  Participants will do both very short monologues and dialogues.  No memorization will be necessary. 

Dress in comfortable clothes you can move in.

The cost for the four-week workshop is $100. The minimum enrollment is 6 participants, and the maximum is 20.
