Basic Acting Skills for Ages 7 to 15

An indepth study for those interested in developing their Acting skills will be held at Krysallis Art Gallery in Winder.   Richard Woods - Native Georgian, was the Drama Instructor and Monologue Coach for The Northside School for the Performing Arts in Atlanta, Georgia; developing scene study for up and coming actors and actresses for commercial, stage, TV, and Film. Krysallis Gallery is proud to have Mr. Woods as a guest instructor for this very exciting six week summer 2012, session:    Thursdays:  July 12th, 19th, 26th, August 2nd, August 9th, and 16th.Each Tuesday Evening from:   6pm - 7pm "Basic Acting Skills - Ages 7 - 15yrs." The essence of basic realism starts with pantomime (mime). Mime is the ability to create the visible sensation of reality using nothing, but muscle and facial expression. Is it heavy or light? Does it feel smooth, or rough? The more the muscle, the better the performance. Body position, speed, and accuracy, they all contribute to your craft as an actor. Sloppy feet, droopy shoulders, lack of eye contact, make them all work for you as you develop your acting skills. Kids especially love this kind of acting!
