High School Improv Workshops
For aspiring actors and actresses, this work is great for getting the kids out of their head and into their body, one of the biggest problems young or inexperienced actors face is not getting their body in character. They feel afraid that they will be judged for committing to the character by their friends. We hope to change that, we work on listening and responding to your stage partners and, thinking on your feet. Everything they learn can be put to use in auditions or during the plays, in case they forget their big line. Our workshops offer you a great way to get your students out of their shell. We have taken classes of unmotivated children, and by the end of the first class they could not wait to do more. The course can improve communication skills and bolster students confidence.
Our Coaches that have had years of stage time performing on stage will come in and work with groups of students, and find weaknesses that can be improved upon with the help of improv. The Kids have fun while getting over stage fright. Improv is a fun and easy way to get more out of students then getting them up on a stage and having them memorize monologue after monologue, most kids will respond better to something they enjoy and about 90% of students at the schools we have worked with enjoy improv. So if your Class could use a boost of improv contact our Improv Troupe: improv@pacificcoasttheatre.com and find out how PCTC can help your school out!
