What's Your Story? - Youth Acting Program

Actors recreate the human experience through a series of technical analysis exercises and the organic ability to understand and experience authentic feelings as desired. This program is designed to help people of all ages reach a better understanding of self and others through various exercises and games that focus on the following key values:

· Learning to understand before you try to be understood

· Inclusivity

· The power of trying and saying "Yes" to new ideas

· Grounding your emotions

· How to convert nervous energy into excited energy

These fun and simplified games and exercises are some of the same things you would see on a show like Whose Line is it Anyway? with an added component of connecting with our emotions, understanding and converting nervous energy into something more empowering, and enhancing basic communication skills with a commitment to inclusivity, self-awareness, and a better understanding of our daily goals and simplified ways to achieve them.
