Henry is an experienced drama facilitator who will guide you through the essential elements of acting. He will start by teaching you how to warm up your body and voice, which will help you to prepare for your performance. This warm-up session will also help you to relax and shake off any nerves you may have.
Next, you will explore the art of improvisation. Improvisation is an essential skill for actors, as it allows them to think on their feet and respond to unexpected situations. Henry will give you tips on how to improvise and guide you through different scenarios.
Body language is another crucial element of acting, as it can convey emotions and add depth to a performance. Henry will teach you how to use your body effectively to communicate with your audience.
Emotion is a powerful tool in acting, and Henry will show you how to tap into your own emotions and use them to create a compelling performance. You will learn how to express different emotions convincingly and how to project them to the audience.
Lastly, storytelling is an integral part of acting. Henry will guide you through the process of developing a story and bringing it to life on stage. You will learn how to create characters, build a plot, and deliver a captivating performance.
Don’t worry if you have no prior experience in acting – Henry’s classes are designed for beginners. You can expect to engage in drama games, have some laughs, and expand your skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.
