Acting Class

This week my Acting classes at the Sunnyvale Community Center is free. Feel free to bring your children for a try out, if they like you can enroll them before the 2nd class. 
Acting uses your whole body! This process-oriented class employs Anna Halprin's Tamalpa Life-Art technique, similar to method acting, to help young actors discover and convey a character's emotions.  
Class begins with a ballet-based warm up and meditative centering and incorporates modern dance, acting exercises, drawing, word play and other creative activities. Parents are invited to watch the final class meeting. 
Class sessions build toward a performance of The Trojan Horse in the spring. Materials fee of $15 is due to instructor at first class meeting.
Level 1 - suitable for those with little or no performing experience.
Level 2 - for those who have taken at least one year of dance or movement, or have participated in a HaoExpression theater production.
For more info check with Sunnyvale Classes and Activities, and if you get the catalog, it's on page 18.
