Beginners:
Theater Games and other improvisational
techniques
not only make an excellent
introduction to theater training;
the experience enhances
creativity, trust of one's self
and builds confidence to
"act in the moment,"
be it in everyday life,
on the job, or breaking
through creative barriers.
The Next
Stage creates
a place where anyone can overcome
self-consciousness or shyness, starting with children's
games and ice breakers
that invite us to reconnect with
the spirit of the child.
Actors:
All great actors are
improvising off the script. Acting training
and rehearsal process MUST be improvisational to capture the
naturally spontaneous quality of real life.
The Next
Stage improvisational techniques
allow actors to be playful and focused, enabling the ability
to relax and discover choices in the moment.
Directors:
Directors need
specific techniques to help actors "get out of their heads"
and allow the spark of spontaneous electricity to erupt,
flow effortlessly and surprise.
The Next
Stage offers a safe, supportive
environment to bring out the genius in everyone. We give
directors tools to help understand what the actors' process
is, and how to elicit believable
emotions.
Playwrights and ScreenWriters:

and experiential opportunities.

"The dynamic
principle of fantasy is play which belongs also to the
child, and as such it appears to be inconsistent with the
principle of serious work. But without the playing with
fantasy, no creative work has ever come to
birth."
