Poems and Skits

We will be working on voice projection, enunciation, and memorization.  Each student will be given a simple poem or a portion of one to memorize.  By the end of this week they should be ready to recite it.  I will grade them on this exercise and I will expect them to speak so that the class can hear and understand them.  I would also like to see them deliver their words with feeling. The audience wants to feel something so put your heart into it!

Working at Relaxing!

This first brief week in PACE Academy's new Theatre Arts class will be devoted to warm-up games and Improvisation,  I will set into motion some routines that the students will be doing at the beginning of every class in order to warm up and get comfortable being vocal and active.  Students will receive prompts to get them going with the whole idea of improv.  Some students will find it fun, others a little scary and others will find it downright hard, but that's alright, the more you have to work at it, the more you stand to gain.
