Each day participants enjoy the opportunity to explore the perimeters of stage performance, attain theatrical skills and develop familiarity with the camera while improving self-confidence and finding their voice. This is accomplished through physical work, character and voice development, improvisation, and storytelling.
Guest educators (drawn from professional creative fields) complement the program, working with the participants in the development of original sketch comedy pieces, songwriting, musical & classical theatre.
Each participant receives a full scholarship to the program and is selected based on a thorough application process.
The workshop is made possible through the fiscal sponsorship of
Heart of Screenland Foundation
and the generous donations of all our wonderful sponsors
