This class is designed for kids with High-Functioning Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, anxiety or general social challenges and is designed to help kids develop communication skills and social understanding through theatre games and activities.
  
Students will start class with stretching and movement exercises for balance, strength and focus. The class will participate in theatre games and acting exercises.  They will work on developing voice and body language skills to play a variety of characters.  In this session, the class will collaborate on writing a scene that they will perform for family and friends on the last day of class. 

The goals for this workshop are to build friendships through common interests, build self esteem through theatre games and improv, provide a safe place for students to be who they are and explore creatively and work on social skills.
