Jester’Z for TeenZ, KidZ and TotZ - Students will learn performance techniques and life skills in exciting, interactive classes. Their imaginations will be unlocked as they bring life to their own stories and characters through various improv exercises and games.

WHY SHOULD YOUR TEEN / KID / TOT TAKE A CLASS?

ALL improv and on-camera classes have a focus that is MORE than just creating on the spot – it’s life skills (things we all wished we would have learned at an early age)
• Listening skills
• Agreement
• Adding information to conversations
• Supporting ideas
• Self-Confidence
• Being aware of others
• Creative solutions
• Positive approach to any situation
• Not interrupting – good give & take
• PLUS it's FUN!

This is the Teen Advanced Class that we will be offering in Scottsdale.

Develop Characters. There’s a difference between pretending to be a caricature and BEING a character. It’s like a child in a ghost costume vs. a real life apparition - there IS a difference.
BE THE CHARACTER - create and develop deeper emotional characters with back-story and life history that gives you LIFE within each and every scene!
Comedic, dramatic and everything in between!
Use those characters within advanced scene work. More “reacting” and less “acting”. As an improviser, you should be able to create a dozen characters with a strong point of view and deep emotional connections with others. more...

More details, more specific, greater understanding of the skills it takes to be a GREAT improviser. Work together as a team. Learn deeper emotional based scenes. Less thinking & more doing. Energetic & active scenes that keep your audience engaged. Finding the game within the scene. more...
