Join us for Life Skills of Acting (Webinar) on Thursday, January 13 at 10 AM.

After nearly two years of lockdowns and social distancing, do you feel uneasy interacting with new people? Are you looking to boost your confidence as you re-enter the world in social or professional situations again? Discover how the enjoyment of theatrical play can support your Emotional Wellbeing, connection with others, and inspire confidence.

In this workshop led by Central Florida Community Arts (CFCArts) Teaching Artist Chris Hicks, you’ll learn the basics of stage acting using theater games, role-playing and script readings. This program is a perfect fit for those with little to no experience on stage who wish to feel more comfortable speaking in front of others, or for avid performers who enjoy connecting with others in a safe, creative space. Come prepared to laugh and play!

This program is presented by CFCArts Teaching Artist Chris Hicks and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation in collaboration with CFCArts.
