This season, Kelrik will hold after-school workshops throughout the year! There are many classes for actors of all ages and abilities! Study with a group of professionals, share feelings and responsibilities, make new friends, gain self-confidence, develop independent thinking and explore the power of theatre and their own imaginations, from the inside out. Discover your own artistic voice, expand communication and imagination skills, and feel good about yourself and your work. These workshops focus on theater as a total activity and will conclude with a fun performance for family and friends!
No matter where you perform, no matter what roles you play in life or on the stage, no matter how you see yourself, Kelrik’s Workshop will help you excel in classroom participation, one-on-one personal conversations, and every play in which you ever perform, from school to a Broadway stage.
All classes are held at Unity, 1490 Southwood Drive, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. (805) 543-PLAY.
