All The World's A Stage - 18 and over
Classes at The Vail-Leavitt Music Hall
Inspired by the infamous line from Shakespeare's As You Like It, The Gateway, in consultation with East End Disability Associates, Inc., is excited to jointly offer an acting workshop called "All the World's a Stage." Designed for people of all abilities, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this introduction to acting workshop serves as both a stepping stone to placement in mainstream acting classes at The Gateway, as well as an opportunity to strengthen self-esteem, communication, and social skills. Students will have an opportunity to discover their unique voices and inner natures by participating in environmental, character, and situation-driven improvisations highlighting social skill development, as well as serious and comic acting exercises. On the final day of class, students of "All the World's a Stage" will have an opportunity present to family and friends a performance of skills learned. For a successful experience, students must be able to interact with fellow classmates and instructors as they will work as a team, taking turns and following directions given by the instructors.
