Caleen’s Performance Class
You will be assigned some lines of text to explore through performance. Your five classes with Caleen will consist of techniques that enable you to workshop your piece. It’s not about acting. The emphasis is on discovering the text by experiencing it on your feet. Class number five will be a culminating celebration and sharing of work.
