I Got D.I.S. (Drama, Improv & Scene Study)
“I Got DIS!”
These fun-filled classes for elementary and teens, provide a venue for young actors to express themselves through Drama, Improv & Scene Study/Song (DIS). Acting through drama and improv helps children to learn how to actively listen, communicate verbally and non-verbally, be open to ideas, respond quickly in the moment, use imagination, collaborate, effectively use emotions, be more engaging, be flexible to change, and be more aware of what’s going on around them. Although we will not be learning to sing in this semester program, children will be learning breathing techniques, pitch, tone, and vocal projection that will help them with vocals for stage performances.
