PTW’s Acting Classes & Drama Lessons for Children & Kids are designed to engage the young actor in the NOW. In our acting classes and drama lessons, students use their imagination to ground themselves in character, expand their senses while using the space, and dig deep into the circumstances that the character must live.
In class, students learn to build their work from the inside out by asking the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a character, and learn to seek out the truest expression and life of that person. Elements of Meisner, Adler, and other schools of acting and drama pedagogy are applied in age-appropriate ways to give students a firm grounding in various disciplines of acting and drama technique.
Students are carefully placed in classes appropriate to their age, level, and experience. Private acting and drama lessons are also available.
“The talent of the teachers here is amazing. It’s an honor to work with them. They give such individual attention, it’s great.”
