Play Per Day
with Elissa Russell
Grades 7 and 8
In this fast-paced session, we’ll explore a new play each class, investigating characters, dialogue, and story in a hands-on, inventive way. As you try out these stories, you’ll gather ideas and inspiration to begin creating your very own original short plays. We’ll deconstruct, remix, and add our own twists, then bring it all to life on stage. By the end of the session, each student will have contributed to a collection of original short plays, unlocking creativity, collaboration, and the joy of storytelling along the way!

JT Studio- Unstuck: Acting Through The Body
with Jeffrey Ingman
JT Studio- Unstuck: Acting Through the Body
Grades 7-12
Move with purpose. Perform with power.
In this active and confidence-building class, actors will learn (in a safe and fun environment) to use their whole bodies (using text and song ) to find their authentic expression as they enter a room, audition, and in performance. Instead of unmotivated or indicated movement, students will explore ways to move with purpose, freedom, and emotional connection — through time-tested exercises, playful physical exploration, and expressive movement techniques.
We’ll focus on:
• Building body awareness and confidence
• Breaking out of “static gestures” in auditions and performances
• Using impulse and psych-physical movement to bring characters, songs, and scenes fully to life
• Tapping into real feelings while keeping performance playful and theatrical
Actors will leave with greater presence, more authentic expression, and tools to feel grounded, bold, and alive in their work — whether acting, singing, or dancing.
Come ready to move, explore, and have fun discovering your most expressive self!
JT Studio programs are fast-paced, high-energy intensives designed for teens looking to elevate their performance skills. Tailored for grades 7-12, these programs offer a deep dive into performance and technique, challenging students to refine their craft in a professional-style rehearsal environment.
