Lights, Camera, Action! Step into the spotlight in this high-energy, autism-friendly acting class designed for creative teens and adults who are ready to shine on stage and screen! From commercials to film scenes, participants will explore on-camera acting, improvisation, and character work in a fun, supportive environment. Through interactive games, role-playing, and script work, actors will build confidence, express their creativity, and develop performance skills at their own pace. Along the way, students will also strengthen communication and self-advocacy skills, both on and off the stage. This class celebrates individuality and imagination, creating a welcoming space where every performer can take risks, try new things, and enjoy the process of acting. Since every person on the spectrum is unique, we request a zoom meeting to discover the student's goals and how we may guide them on their creative journey. This is a drop-off class, yet individual caretakers are welcome.
Email Lynn@AtlantaWorkshopPlayers.com to set up a Zoom meeting.
