$250 for 4 classes (recommended)
$50 per session
Open to All Levels

In this class we will focus on finding balance within one’s self and bringing that to the stage. How do we become comfortable showing our selves to others? First, we figure out how to be comfortable with ourselves. What are your values, what are your intentions, what are you wanting to say and express? In this course we will dig deep to get closer to the reasons we perform. Through group conversations, writing prompts, movement exercises, and practicing performance in front of trusted peers, we dig deeper into our performance practices to dig out what is hidden and what wants to be seen.

Please read class etiquette & ethics.

Please email info@bricktheater.com if you would like to take the class but money is a barrier.
