Character Matters

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Fairy Tale Advice Council! Led by Rapunzel, a Handsome Prince, and a (recovering) Wicked Witch, the council offers help in character-building to famous folk creatures. In this bestselling, non-preachy show, the Big Bad Wolf learns the Golden Rule, Cinderella gets help in managing her anger, and Jack and the Giant discover their differences are cool. Will Humpty Dumpty take responsibility for his fall? Can Baby Bear forgive Goldilocks — and will Goldilocks apologize, or just take the porridge and run?

Core skills and techniques:

• Voice and movement: Exercises focus on breath support, vocal projection, and public speaking along with physical awareness in a performance based environment.
• Imagination and concentration: Group exercises and games are used to build focus and concentration plus explore with the imagination.
• Character development: Techniques are taught for creating believable and authentic characters.
• Collaboration: Students will learn to work with one another to create a cast/team setting to achieve a common goal.

This workshop concludes with a live performance on our main stage free for family & friends to attend.

APPEARANCE: Students must dress appropriately for movement. Shoes should be either dance shoes or sneakers secured with laces or velcro. No open-toe shoes, flip-flops, sandals, or crocs.

NOTE: Bring a healthy snack + a water bottle with your student’s name on it.
