Summer acting workshops start July 24

FALLBROOK — The Fallbrook Players are offering two theater workshops this summer that will teach confidence, public speaking ability, thinking on your feet and many other life skills.

Beginning July 24, the Performing Arts Workshop, led by Diane Felthous, will be offered at the Bonsall Community Center.

In this workshop, participants will learn about monologues, theater dance and choreography, stage movement, audition techniques, character development, theater vocabulary, stage singing, speaking skills and more. This workshop will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The second workshop, also at the Bonsall Community Center, is a two-day class taught by Susan Korean. Day one, “Tuesday at the Improv,” will focus on improvisation skills, thinking on your feet, body language and impromptu routines. The second day, “The Next Best Thing,” is fashioned after the popular TV show. Dialects, movement and staying in character will be explored. Classes run from 9 a.m. until noon. There will be a student showcase for parents given at each workshop.

“Last year, these workshops were a huge hit with the kids and I am confident that enrollment will fill quickly,” said Connie Knox, president of the nonprofit group. “The types of skills taught in these workshops are so important and we are hoping that parents will encourage more boys to try theater arts, as these are the types of skills that will be needed when making the Heisman Trophy acceptance speech.”
