Theatre Acting Masterclass - Lesson 3: Storytelling

This acting class will be taught by Erika Jenko, an award-winning playwright and Creative Director of Windy Hallows.

Having never taken a class in playwriting, Erika actually got her start in theatrical writing by competing on the speech team in college. On the speech team, Reader’s Theatre is an incredible way of utilizing the basics of storytelling in a theatrical way. In this storytelling class, Erika will help performers utilize their knowledge of acting as a building block to expand upon the exciting world of storytelling.

• Exercise: Students will start the class with a Bedtime Stories improv exercise, focused on telling a scary story to adults.
• Performance: Students will workshop a short story written by Erika Jenko that will heavily rely on teamwork and focus while finding the moments of vulnerability in a fast-paced script.

While this class will mostly focus on acting for the stage, its principles can also be applied to acting for TV and film. Classes will feature a combination of solo and collaborative exercises involving both improvised and scripted scenes. Prior acting experience is highly recommended but not required.
