THE ZEN OF ACTING WITH JAMES VILLEMAIRE

THE ZEN OF COLD READING AND SCENE STUDY

Beginning on the foundation of a cold reading, the work focuses on the power of listening and “using the other actor” in the scene. Liberating the actor from self consciousness and making the actor responsible to the story, the actor finds the freedom to be “in the conversation”. The actor is then challenged in successive classes to move into more intensive scene study where the process will continue to yield exciting and truthful results.

Kids and Youth Acting Class

Nurturing Young Talent

For Ages 6-11 and 12-16

Our Kids and Youth Acting Program invites young students to explore, play, and become part of a creative team! Through engaging games and exercises, students are introduced to collaborative play and ensemble building, honing essential communication and listening skills— the foundational elements of acting and storytelling.

This on-going class encourages students to continuously develop their acting and communication skills. We introduce the same tools used by our adult professional actors, ensuring a comprehensive and professional learning experience.

Improvisation and theater games ignite creativity, foster ensemble spirit, and nurture a sense of play. Throughout the semester, students will rehearse and perform a complete piece of theater, boosting their confidence, honing their craft, and enhancing their ability to work individually and as part of a team.

James’ nurturing and infectious energy creates a safe space for students to build self-confidence and express themselves freely.
