Youth Classes
SUMMER WITH SHAKESPEAREJUNE 25-JULY 14
For three exciting, fun-filled weeks your child will receive classical instruction from acclaimed professional actors and educators. An appreciation and affection for classical text will emerge as Shakespeare's verse is demystified through a conservatory-style program of improvisation, voice, speech, textual analysis, and kinetic exercises. Students will receive unique exposure to a variety of classic comedies, tragedies, and history plays.
This challenging intensive will teach students to be scholars and performers of The Bard, which will enhance their understanding of his work in the classroom. On a deeper level, this intensive illuminates a connection to the patterns of the human condition inherent in Shakespeare's works.
Through ensemble work, A Noise Within also strives to build community among young artists, and encourages creative risk-taking. Students will perform for an audience on our main stage in a culminating presentation of scenes and monologues from Shakespeare's plays on Saturday, July 14.
This camp is designed for young people ages 10-18. Students will be placed into age-appropriate groups.

This exciting course is designed to give budding actors the tools to generate authentic connections to dramatic texts, and to create believable and emotionally rich characters. Young Actor's Workshop (YAW) covers the basic foundations of acting, including given circumstances, objectives, sense memory and recall, and how to effectively use improvisation and pantomime. Participants in YAW are assigned scene work and improvisational exercises, and the course culminates in a presentation of memorized monologues or scenes. YAW incorporates multiple age levels in order to provide the necessary structure in order to provide students the opportunity to learn from each others' work. This course is a foundation for the study of acting, and it is expected that the course will be repeated several times in order to deepen the understanding of acting technique and to delve more deeply into scene work.
Cost: $263 for one session - 6 weeks of classes, 2 hours per class
