WHAT IS TEEN ACTORS GANG @ THE GORILLA (TAGG)?
ACTING — For Ages 13-18
TEEN ACTORS GANG @ THE GORILLA (TAGG)
Sundays, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Gorilla Theatre, 4419 N Hubert Ave, Tampa, FL 33614
CLASS DESCRIPTION
TAGG is for teens, age 13-18, interested in developing their acting and theatre skills on a pre-professional level. Students are challenged to be 100% present during every class. Not just there, but there, prepared, focused and ready to collaborate. Each week the students are introduced to different approaches to acting and theatre. The skills learned give the students an arsenal with which they can confidently tackle most acting roles, public speaking situations and communication in general. This class is for young adults who are interested in honing their interpersonal skills, boosting their confidence level and exploring a new social circle. Each actor will be called upon to trust each other, work with each other and push each other towards greatness.
In addition to class work, students will have monologues and scene work for the fall session and collaborate on a full production of a short play for the spring session. These projects will require a commitment to the program beyond attending class. Close to the end of each session, rehearsals outside of class will be scheduled around the actors’ availability. Each week, homework is expected. (But it's theatre, so it's fun homework, right?)
