The instructors emphasize building the ensemble, expressing creativity through play and collaboration, and exploring various performance techniques that professional actors use themselves when rehearsing for performances. Your child will have the chance to bring the language of Shakespeare to life by showcasing their imagination, posing questions, and utilizing their voice.
