Acting for Teens (14-18) - Drayton Entertainment Youth Academy

Acting students are welcome to enroll in Scripted Acting. Students will explore character development through text analysis techniques using age and level appropriate monologues and scenes from a wide range of published plays. Instructors will help students learn to break down clues within the script, and how those clues influence the way their character walks, talks, feels, and interacts with other actors in the play.

Scripted Acting students will:

• Work with various age-appropriate scenes to develop their understanding of building character through physical gestures, movement, and voice
• Enhance their sense of focus and remaining present while on stage
• Experiment with acting alongside a variety of other actors
• Have fun, build trust, and meet new friends while working in a safe and collaborative space
