Indiia's Approach to Teaching
Creativity doesn't have to be perfect. It's supposed to be fun, messy and a bit silly! In my class, we'll learn through making bold choices, keeping what works and learning from what doesn't. Just like rehearsal, the classroom is the time to learn, make mistakes and support each other. You'll experience table reads, strategies on building characters and script analysis, and then we're on our feet to put it all together. From day one I want this to feel like an ensemble. That is one of the great joys of acting. It's a group of people with various strengths coming together to produce something beautiful. I hope you'll join me!
