Melanie Neal
Winter/Spring 2021
Arts
Schedule:
Tuesday - Auditorium - 002: 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm
Description:
This class introduces students to the core fundamentals and principles of improv, focusing on various games and exercises that encourage trust, communication, agreement (“yes and”), character, status, and making your scene partner look good.
We will focus on skills needed for character work, an element essential to dynamic improvised scenes. Actors will explore creating their characters through both internal motivations (point of view, status, wants and intentions) and external motivations (like experimenting with physicality). Actors learn how to make choices in scenes that help define their character. We will complete active exercises that explore different ways to create and sustain characters in a scene. We will also continue to hone the skills necessary for doing strong scene work and building ensemble.
Additional outside workshops and performance/competition opportunities may be available throughout the year at an additional cost.
Improv students will be able to perform for family and friends at the Main Stage Theatre
Showcase on April 27th (mandatory dress rehearsal April 26th).

Arts
- Ceramics
Schedule:
Monday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm
Description:
In this hands-on class students will learn the basics of working with clay to construct functional pieces for their own homes and spaces, such as nature bowls and Japanese teacups, tiles and vases. As students carve, smooth and sculpt, they will be given fresh ideas on design and decoration, receiving both guidance and creative freedom. Students will glaze and take home their finished pieces when fired. Over the course of our 16 weeks together this class becomes one of the anchors in the week, a pause in the day to tap into the creative and the tactile. Students will have some cleanup chores, like washing the wooden tools and sponges in the provided water buckets and wiping down their areas after glazing days. Junior artists are bound to find great satisfaction in this class, bringing clay to life with design and patterns, weaving the art of drawing into the clay.
Requirements:
• Supply & teacher payments are due January 9th. Families must respond to Groupzu invoices by this deadline to keep their standing in the class.
