Screen Acting | Ages 7-9 years
SHORT STUFF SCREEN ACTING
In Short Stuff, our focus is on introducing and developing fundamental acting techniques in a fun and nurturing environment.
Short Stuff focuses on:
- getting comfortable in front of a camera
- movement and basic character, and
- introduction to story and improvisation
Along with the basics of drama, they’ll be learning essential ‘soft skills’ and screen acting techniques for a future in acting such as:
- listening
- creativity
- teamwork and
- focus.
Students progress through a new curriculum each term and put their skills to practice with their filmed production in Term 4.
