Exhilarating and enjoyable, acting can improve your communication skills, develop your self-confidence and relieve stress. To act and experience all the benefits acting offers, however, you must first acquire fundamental skills. Join Central Florida Community Arts Teaching Artist Jessica Munro in this interactive workshop to learn the basics of stage acting through the use of theater games, role-playing and script. No experience on stage is necessary; this class is a perfect fit for anyone who wishes to feel more comfortable speaking in front of an audience.

By participating in this program, you can expect to:

• learn techniques to help with cold reads;
• use tools to help you embody a character;
• and learn how to use sense memory as an acting tool.

This program is presented by Jessica Munro and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
