    The Alley Theatre presents the Young Performers Studio (YPS), Saturday Studios ages 8-15, Saturdays, October 2, 2010 – May 14, 2011 , 10:00AM -11:30AM.

    Young Performers Saturday Studios are process classes that teach students how to do theatre. Basic skills such as acting, writing, directing, voice, movement, and improvisation will be taught on a continuing basis with students constantly being challenged to expand their skill set. Occasional sharing sessions will be scheduled as students achieve certain benchmarks, but the focus will be less on performance and more on becoming better artists of the theatre.

    Since classes will be ongoing, it will allow us to bring in specialty teachers to teach units on specific teaching methods. Such units will include: Viola Spolin’s Theatre Games, Rasa Boxes, Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints and Laban Movement techniques. Schedules will be released monthly and students will be able to choose which classes interest them most.

    There is an annual family membership fee of $30 to become a member of the Young Performers Saturday Studio. A Flexcard must be purchased in order to attend a Saturday Studio session at the Alley Theatre.

    We offer 24 studio classes during the school year. There are many options for each student within the following age groups and skill levels.

    • •Basic (ages 8-10)
    • •Scene Lab (ages 8-10)
    • •Fundamentals (ages 11-15)
    • •Troupe (ages 11-15)
    • •Vanguard (ages 10-15)

    The Flexcard allows families the grace to attend classes when it is convenient. Each time a class is taken, the Flex card will be stamped. All students will be evaluated at the start the 2010/11 season for placement purposes. Advancement to a different level will be determined after three sessions by teaching artists as key skills and benchmarks are demonstrated. This is a great program for students involved in other theatre and performing arts programs.

    The YPS Flexcards cost $120 for 8 classes or $70 for 4 classes.

    All punch cards expire on May 14, 2011 or 6 months after being purchased.

    All classes are Saturday from 10:00am-11:30am. The 2010-2011 dates are:
