At Kinetic Revelation Academy of Dance & The Arts · Ages 10+

The only drama we want in our lives is on stage—and this class is the perfect place to explore it! Designed to make drama both fun and enriching, this course invites students to experience the joy of acting while using their theatrical gifts to glorify God and uplift others. Students will learn the essential tools of the craft: how to bring a character to life with authenticity, how to use their voices effectively and care for it, how to convey emotion in a way that resonates with an audience, and how to move confidently and purposefully on stage through proper blocking and staging techniques. From exploring the deeper meaning behind the words in a script to adding color and life to every line, students will grow not just as performers, but as storytellers with purpose. The class culminates in roles in both our Christmas production and our spring show—dynamic performances that combine acting, dance, and music in a Christ-honoring, community-building celebration of the arts. Save these dates on your calendar! Our Christmas production takes place at the Festival of Trees the Saturday after Thanksgiving, usually at 5:00 p.m. and our Spring production is the second weekend in June. A few additional rehearsals will be required outside of class time. We need a commitment to do the spring show by mid October so we can choose or write our show for the appropriate number of cast members. PREREQUISITE: None. DRESS CODE: Clothing in which students can move easily. Bare foot, dance shoes, or dedicated shoes for this class as it take place in our dance room, where no street shoes are allowed. *Stage presence is the quality of an actor characterized by an energy and charisma that engages the audience and makes their performance memorable. The name of this class is a play on words because we want God's Presence to inhabit what we do, and to be the guiding factor in our lives and on our stage.
