If you’ve ever wanted to learn about designing sound, video, or lighting for performance, this is a great introduction. Each class will stand alone - you can choose which ones you want to attend - but all the topics inter-relate, so come to all three for the deepest learning.
Adults and young adults expand their capacity to embody other characters through more challenging material and exercises. Emphasis during these classes focuses on honesty, vulnerability, truthfulness, and empathy, and then put all this energy into a physical, playable action.
Fall curriculum will consist of script analysis, character development, scene work, improvisation, body and voice techniques, and performance. We will focus on developing craft and technique from the Western “the inside out” perspective (Stanislavsky, Strausberg, etc.).

The cost is $40 for all four sessions. Orcas Center Members receive 10% off. For Students 18 and under, email Jake@OrcasCenter.org for complimentary enrollment.
Youth (ages 10-15) interested in the performing arts need a gentle, personal on-ramp to meet them where they are. Emphasis during these classes focuses on a willingness to play, pretend, imagine, empathize, and dream, and then put all this energy into a physical, playable action. Curriculum will consist of theatre games, acting exercises, improvisation, basic acting and voice techniques, and beginning scene work. The classes will expand and culminate in a performance on Center Stage in April based on Shel Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends”.
Emphasis during these classes focuses on honesty, vulnerability, truthfulness, and empathy, and then put all this energy into a physical, playable action. Curriculum will consist of script analysis, character development, scene work, improvisation, body and voice techniques, and performance.
All interested participants will meet once a week for an open discussion and exploration to share ideas on various aspects of directing. These sessions are not a traditional classroom experience. Play Selection, Vision, Casting, Staging, Props/Costume/Set Design, as well as Lighting and Sound Design are the suggested topics for discussion.
This lighting course consists of a comprehensive discussion on the instruments we have, how they work, and what they do. We’ll also discuss the fundamentals of light and shadow, color and intensity, balance, changing focus and mood. We’ll cover how we use light to enhance the creative process, to tell a story expressing emotion, pace and intent. Cues, Plots, and Schedules are also covered along with the production process of working with directors in rehearsal and performance.
