Method Acting CAMP: Saturday Night Live (9-13 YO)
Debbie Downer, Bill Swerski’s super fans (da Bears!), the Weekend Update Gang and Matt Foley – the motivational speaker – are calling your name! Exercise your comedic skills in Saturday Night Live sketches.
The necessary changes have been made to make the material work for kids. The basics of film acting such as hitting a mark, enunciation and voice projection as well as more advanced acting principles such as developing a character, developing a relationship and creating real behavior are explored.
Rehearsals and filming are done on a set, in costume with props, camera, microphones, and lights. There will be multiple casts and everyone will shoot daily. If a student misses any classes, Jeremy will do his best to cover the scenes that are missed.
The final product is screened at Gorton on the last day. The focus of the class is on learning about acting, learning life skills and having fun in a van down by the river!
This camp runs Monday, August 1 – Thursday, August 4, 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Ages: 9 – 13 Years Old
