BRAC Spring Conservatory Youth Acting Classes Now Open For Registration
The Branson Regional Arts Council is excited to offer a series of beginning and advanced Acting Classes for area Youth as part of our Spring Theatre Conservatory program.
Registrations are now open, and class size is limited. Please call 417-336-4255 with any questions or for additional information.
Class Title: Acting with Mind and Body
Students will explore the link between the emotional and physical life of a character. Through games and activities they will gain a functional understanding of how the imagination plays its part in acting, and how it can then inform physical, observable action.
For students ages 8-12 years old.
Class Schedule: Mondays (April 22, 29, May 6, 13, 20, 27)
Time: 4:30-5:30pmRegistration Fee: $75.00 for all six classes (limit of 15 students per class)
Class Criteria: Students should have prior performance experience and/or have attended BRAC conservatory.
Meet the Instructors: Ashlind and Ryan Hippe
Ashlind and Ryan met while studying theatre at Liberty University. Since graduating and getting married, they both have found work at Sight and Sound Theatres for several seasons: Ryan as an actor and Ashlind as the Children’s Coordinator.
They are passionate about teaching and directing the next generation of performers, and are excited to see their students shine!
Class Title: Musical Theatre Audition Prep and Song Analysis
Students will workshop two audition musical cuts in a masterclass-type setting, receiving audition feedback and vocal technique aid. Styles covered include Golden Age and Contemporary, reflecting the varying needs in Musical Theater auditions. Students will receive feedback on their headshots and resumes as well as other audition standards. My desire is that students will walk away with two fantastic cuts to set themselves up for success in auditions!
