Students learn techniques to create dramatic and character-specific looks using makeup and masks to enhance and transform actors' appearances on stage. The course covers skills in contouring, aging effects, special effects makeup, and period-specific styles, as well as designing and crafting custom masks. These techniques are essential for actors, stage performers, and anyone in the theater industry to effectively convey character and emotion under stage lighting, while providing an understanding of how to integrate both makeup and mask design into a cohesive, transformative performance.

We highly recommend purchasing a student kit as it contains necessary and additional

These specialized workshops are an opportunity to learn more about specific areas of theatre and performance. Varying skill levels and ages may participate in Theatre Intensives, although some previous experience is recommended. On the last day of class, families will be invited for an informal class sharing. The sharing will be showcase the activities the students learned throughout the week, an opportunity for students to talk about the skills they learned, and often times will include original scenes developed by the students and or singing and choreography (depending on the class topic). Sharings will take place directly in their classroom and due to limited space, we ask that only immediate family attend.
