ACTING AND IMPROVISATION, Ages 12-18
Monday-Friday, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Tuition: $60.00
Location: SLCA Fuess Performance Space
Instructors: Nan Mullenneaux

This week long workshop, led by Nan Mullenneaux, will teach both basic acting and improvisation skills to middle and high-school aged students, exploring professional techniques in character development, comedy versus drama, memorization tricks, and finding emotional truth onstage. We will then take these skills and use them in scenes from Broadway plays and movie scripts. Our final class will be an open rehearsal for family and friends. The emphasis will be on fun, trust, and teamwork. There are no stars, says Nan, just great actors!

Nan Mulleneaux has acted in regional, off-Broadway, dinner and summer stock theaters as well as film, television, and radio. Over the past twenty years Nan has developed highly successful acting classes for colleges, after-school programs, theater companies, and arts centers.
