Amanda Lissette is happy to be back at Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts)  to host an improvisation and movement workshop this summer. Students will be using improvisation exercises to sharpen skills, increase creativity, emphasize the need to embrace the ideas of others, and handle uncertainty, with or without a partner on stage, in an inventive way. With movement exercises, they will work to use their body to create the world of characters and how they move through it, telling a story using only physical movement.  These skills will benefit the young actor’s ability to think on their feet creatively, master cold reads for auditions and/or callbacks, and bring bold choices to the projects they work on. The week will culminate with a short showcase for parents/guardians. Open to children entering 7th-9th grades (older students may also be considered).  This workshop is part of the school’s Summer Academy, a program of arts enrichment workshops that is open to the community.   SESSION DATES:  July 15-19, 9 AM- 12 PM daily.
