About

At Expressions, students explore the world of film by learning that acting is a true art form.

Every day in our classes, words on a page are suddenly transformed into vibrant, layered and captivating characters. This is done by injecting creativity into everything we do! We also delve into improvisation skills, confidence building exercises, and emotional work. As you can see, acting at Expressions extends far beyond just “performance” and “getting parts”. These are life skills that will empower our students throughout their careers, education and relationships. What’s wonderful though, is that the learned skills are masked by the incredible amounts of fun we have! We spend our time re-creating scenes from TV shows and movies, participating in improv games, creating our own characters, and producing, writing and acting in our final film project, which by the way, gets shown in a real theatre!

 

Classroom étiquette

At Expressions, we aim to foster a positive and inspiring atmosphere, where students feel safe and comfortable. Class etiquette is built on the expectation that all students support one another and respect one another. While students are performing, it is expected that their classmates are watching quietly. Similarly, if an instructor, guest speaker, or a student is talking, respectful listening will be expected by all students. Cell phones, snacks, ipods, and other distracting devices are not permitted during class time.
