Description

workshop_1259611913 Back by popular demand, a second night of acting and fun! Acting coach Clarence Tokley leads us through acting exercises, improvisations and methods that are sure to teach us greater expressiveness in our dramatic work and in everyday situations.

And in conjunction with Black History Month in February, we'll have some acting exercises and improvisations that lead teens to ask questions and make choices about stereotypes and identity. What is your personal identity? How do you decide? Have others ever decided for you? How do you respond to stereotypes, and to being stereotyped? Beginners and budding actors are welcome and encouraged.
