*WHAT*

*Voice and Movement – The Actor’s Toolkit* is an in-person after-school
theatre program where youth explore the essential skills every actor needs
to perform with confidence and creativity. This fall, young artists will
focus on voice, movement, and imagination which are core tools of the
actor. Participants will build vocal strength, physical expressiveness, and
ensemble awareness through theatre games, improvisation, and monologue
practice, sharpening their ability to tell compelling stories and make
bold, fresh choices on stage. The session culminates in a live showcase for
friends and family. CAN Academy’s performing arts programs foster academic
success, empathy, responsibility, and creative thinking which are skills
that last a lifetime.


*This program is offered at NO COST, thanks to the Cleveland Foundation.*
All classes are in person on-site at Cleveland Public Theatre. Young
artists must follow our health and safety protocols, which are informed by
the CDC guidelines. Any updates to our health and safety protocols will be
communicated to our CAN families in a timely manner.
