This year we are excited to offer of Conservatory for Actors course to our Naperville location. This curriculum is designed with a professional mindset focusing more on scene study, character and improvisation. We will explore different approaches through Stanislovski, Misner, and Chekhov exercises. We are proud to be in our 4th year serving the Naperville community for youth actor training. In this class we will also explore approach’s to basic auditioning techniques for Theatre and film.
Fall Session for our Actor’s Conservatory Class in Naperville will be partitioned into two courses that happen simultaneously, throughout the ten-week program. The first portion of Conservatory Classes will be the breakdown of the actor’s process which includes the introduction of philosophies from some of the greatest actors/directors in the 20th Century (i.e. Stanislavki, Meisner, Uta Hagen, La Coque, etc.), as well as monologues and scenes, basic of improv, and, finally, scenework. We will also dive into the world of heightened language with scenes and soliloquys by William Shakespeare. Actors will learn how to dissect their scripts for a deeper understanding of the characters they are playing. The actors will incorporate these ideas into their process and adapt what works for them personally to help them produce a greater stage presence and character. The second portion of the program will include vocal and movement based work via musical numbers from some of the most inspirational musicals of this new generation. Actors will learn how to incorporate the skills of acting, dancing, and singing (the trifecta of performance art) all the while telling a complete story that incorporates what they’ve learned from both courses over the ten week period which will then be showcased at the end of the program (week 10).
Winter/Spring 2018 Focus: How does one develop a character? Conservatory Spring session will focus on scene work and how to establish characters. The students will receive scripts from modern and classic playwrights and learn how to dissect the text. The students will perform in 2 and 3 person scenes that will ultimately build into a cabaret showcase. This session the actors will also have the opportunity to explore the relationship between acting onstage and acting on camera. The scenes will be filmed and some performed live at their performance showcase!
Examples of scenes will we work on may be from: Wicked, West Side Story, Rent, Spring Awakening, Pippin, Guys & Dolls, Chicago, Sweeney Todd, & much more!
This is an intensive Actors Conservatory Program, designed to foster the young actor's creative process. It is a course for those who aspire to be future professional performers. We provide Conservatory training, with focus ranging from Shakespeare to movement to vocal exercises to voice and choreography, stage combat, and more. Individual classes will examine emotional truth and process, and scale for the stage; its purpose is to prepare young actors for being confident in their role on stage while learning how to embody their character.. It is crucial to understand that those who aspire to professional status cannot grow without regular application of the above. Conservatory training is an ongoing process; its purpose is to prepare young actors for the stage, film, and t.v. This class will focus on thr growth of the actors' process by exploring both internal expression as well as physical techniques.

Winter/Spring 2019 Session for our Acting 101 Class in Naperville will be partitioned into two courses that happen simultaneously, throughout the ten-week program. The first portion of 101 classes will be the introduction of the stage via musical theatre. This is a great way for beginning actors who want to be onstage to break out of their shells and have fun. 101 will show them that, if they put their minds to it and are dedicated to their craft, that the sky is the limit. They will learn dances and songs from shows that are/have been on Broadway and in popular movies. The second part of 101 will introduce our beginning actors to the intricacies of what makes a story, how to create characters, and how they tie into a show. They will learn how to incorporate the skills of acting, dancing, and singing (the trifecta of performance art) while telling a complete story that incorporates what they’ve learned from both courses over the ten week period. These skills will then be showcased at the end of the program (week 10).
Fall 2018 Session Focus: Acting 101 is advancing to 102! Don’t worry if you missed our summer camps, our little stars will be learning the art of scene work and improvisation. How are our reading skills? Our students will be working on techniques such as cold reading and projection. After all, we have to be heard! Reading is an integral part of being a successful actor onstage as well as in real life. We believe the skills gained here will last a lifetime with our young actors no matter what they pursue in life. After our 10 week session the students will perform in a cabaret showcase for our final class performance!
Intro to Theatre for young actors will focus on basic skills such as imagination, voice control, body awareness. We will learn through scene and monologue work ultimately guiding ourselves to a final performance in showcase day. We will focus on material based on classic children's plays & musicals. and more. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to teach these critical life skills to our young ones through the magic of Theatre!
Examples of scenes will be from: "Alice in Winderland", "Aladdin", "Frozen", "Mary Poppins", "Cinderella", "Beauty & The Beast" & much more!
This fun Class is for the creative child who is determined to be on stage. Successful actors and performers start off on the stage learning how to be comfortable in their own skin so that they can begin to play the roles of other people. Our students learn that the creative process is not exclusively for some mysterious group of humans, but rather it is a simple and fun filled skill set that everyone should learn. Acting 101 Class is magical, fun and necessary for every young performer.
We start the Class with creative dramatics, and by teaching students a number of exercises and games to help them get over the fear of performing in front of others. After we create this safe environment in which to explore, we begin skill building and creating characters for the stage. We apply the character work in scenes and songs appropriate for students' age.
This class is geared towards the young actor who desires to perform at the level of the professional youth that they see on stage, television, and the big screen today. As we have aided many students to work in film and television for Disney, Fox Network, ABC, NBC, CBS, material will be chosen for each actor individually with the idea that they are capable of learning performing techniques that will grow their confidence to equivalent levels of the actors they admire. Finally, after ten weeks of training, we've created a performance out of the work that we explored in class, and we put on a showcase to celebrate work completed on scenes studied.
This class is appropriate for both students who are new to acting, and for those who have taken acting classes in the past - this class is never a repeat! After two to three years of Acting 101, the student is usually ready to continue their training in Actors Conservatory Class.
*Rocky Mountain Conservatory Theatre is an exclusively theatrical-based youth arts organization. We are pleased to offer our programming at the wonderful space at Community United Methodist Church, Naperville, though we are not structurally affiliated with any religious organization.
