The Garage Theatre Group, Bergen County’s leading professional theatre company is happy to announce it’s winter/spring class schedule for it’s youth acting classes. Classes, taught by Artistic Director, Michael Bias will begin April 16 and run thru June 18 at The Becton Theatre, 960 River Rd. on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
The Garage Theatre Group provides theatrical learning experiences that develop leadership, emphasize responsibility, and foster teamwork in a supportive and respectful environment. The classes' unique family atmosphere helps students develop a strong sense of self-esteem.
"Theater opens up a new world for people," says Michael Bias, artistic director of the Garage. "Our classes — for children and adults alike — help people to express themselves and find their own creativity.”
Two courses are being offered at this time.
Acting 2 for ages 10-13 begins with sensory work and moves on through basic acting techniques. Students are taught to physicalize rather than vocalize their thoughts and emotions through theater games, role playing and improvisation. During the course of the year, students work on problem solving in scenes and improvisations. Wednesdays from 4:15 to 5:45 p.m.
Acting 3 for ages 13 -18 joins basic and advanced acting techniques through relaxation exercises, sensory work, sense memory technique, character development, monologues and scene study. The class promotes an exchange of ideas and a forum for communication. Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m.
The Garage also offers individual acting coaching and voice lessons.
All classes require a registration fee to cover insurance costs. This fee will reserve a spot in class and entitles the student to participate in all activities including classes, productions and trips. Since all classes have limited enrollment, early registration is suggested. Priority is given to returning students.
