  COURSE DESCRIPTION This 4-week Funtensive Class will give teen students valuable skills in Creativity (writing & thinking), Community (Team, Listening, Focus) and Leadership (Public Speaking). A great way to get the arts back into student's lives, these classes fill the void left by many NYC schools. More than a cultural arts experience, the Improv training is invaluable Language Arts and Character Building. We use this fun activity to overcome insecurities, develop intense focus and create great speakers. Our students become students leaders at their schools. TEACHER

Walt Frasier (TV, Off Bway, 4000+ pro improv shows) has taught this Master Class in numerous NYC high schools,as well as training other teachers and providing his Improv 4 Teens book - IMPROV THIS - for FREE online as a resource for students and teachers. Previously Mr Frasier served as Director of Instruction for the Comedy Hall of Fame and recently gave Keynote at the New Jersey Association for the Gifted Child.

GET COMEDY IN YOUR LIVES EVERY DAY BY BECOMING A COMEDIAN

William Fry, M.D., of Stanford University “Humor and creativity work in similar ways. by creating relationships between two disconnected items, you engage the whole brain.” Ken Robinson – Author of “Creative Schools” said: “the whole system of public education around the world is a protracted process of university entrance. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not, because the thing they were good at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.”

Planning for College, Auditions, Classes - great Resources

PLAYBILL EDU - I just discovered this and thought I should share. Great resource for those planning college for an arts career.

PLAYBILL - Playbill is a great resource for keeping up with Broadway News and finding Auditions and other jobs in the arts. FREE casting notices.

BACKSTAGE - This is a subscription site. You can browse for free to a point. But when you are ready to be a working actor, join and go audition every week. Daily when possible. Finding work as an actor is not that different than any other job. You have to leave the house and go interview - we just do it with monologues and songs.

ACTORS ACCESS - Tons of paid film work. Eventually you need an agent, but you can find work in student films and non-union projects, Indy films and sometimes even get yourself cast on legit TV, Film and commercials. Free to browse. You have to pay to submit yourself. When serious, go ahead and pay for the annual breakdown submission service that allows you to submit w/o additional fees (usually $2/submission).
