Port Townsend Children's Theater & School for Young Actors

AppleMarkClass Descriptions

Acting
     Student actors (kids, teens, & adults) learn, or advance their knowledge of, the craft of acting through continued focus on movement, voice, & responding truthfully in the moment. Students develop a deeper understanding of creating characters through exercises exploring who, what, where, when, & why.

Create A Play
    Theme, Structure, Story, Conflict, Resolution, & Outrageous FUN! Students (9-13 yrs.) pick a theme, & create improvisations based on that theme. We create a play, rehearse it, & perform it at the end of the session. (Reading is not a requisite.)
n

DramaBugs
     Kids (2-4 yrs.) & their drama mamas (or papas) explore theater through puppetry, storytelling, & movement. 

Adventures in Acting
     Young actors (5-7 yrs.) create characters & theater using costumes, storybooks, & improvisation techniques. All acting exercises are game & story based.

Circus Arts
