JT Studio- Unstuck: Acting Through The Body

$300

with Jeffrey Ingman

Calendar Feb 22, 2026 at 11 am

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.
