🌟 What to Expect

Month 1: Discovery & Core Skills

This first month lays the foundations of theatre. You’ll prepare for the stage by focusing on body language and voice. Through posture and body awareness exercises, you’ll explore your physical potential, while breath and vocal techniques will help you use your voice effectively. Improvisation sessions will strengthen your spontaneity and creativity, building the courage to step on stage without a script.

Month 2: Deepening & Character Building

In the second month, you’ll advance your fundamentals. Focusing on character creation and acting techniques, you’ll practice embodying different identities. By observing your surroundings, you’ll craft character profiles and practice their walks, speech patterns, and emotions. This process also strengthens empathy and helps you become more convincing on stage.

Month 3: Practice & Performance

In the final month, you’ll bring everything together. Short scenes and group work will help you experience team spirit. Collaborating closely with scene partners, you’ll bring a story to life and refine your performance through rehearsals. At the end of the month, you’ll showcase your work in a final presentation, receive feedback from the facilitator and peers, and reflect on your progress.

This journey is not just a theatre class—it’s a chance to express yourself, build confidence, and be part of a collective art form.
