Here you can let some of the characters in your head out and create new ones. All will get better at staying present, in the moment and trusting your natural instincts. Get out of your head for an hour. Vanquish fantasy thinking of tomorrows or yesterdays. Less editing, censoring thoughts and overthinking. Live through storytelling and self-expression, while feeling creative excitement and having a lot of laughs! Students enjoy learning theatre and improv activities, scene work, and monologue.
