Ms. Ecobelli uses a unique mixture of creative exercises, theatre games and improvisation to build confidence and access emotions.

Here the focus will be on the development of your own unique voice as well as working collectively in a ensemble. Learn to challenge yourself and expand your natural abilities.

Using diverse material from classic and contemporary playwrights, students will track a character's journey through a scene and learn how action and behavior shape characterization. Learn how to to create truly memorable characters by developing distinct physical and emotional personalities. Explore script analysis on a deeper level with a sharper understanding of subtext, metaphor and plot. Audition and cold reading skills will also be offered. Rehearsal with a scene partner outside of class is required. The class will culminate in an open workshop production at the end of each 8 week session.
