Carmel Community Players helps actors hone their skills

Carmel Community Players’ (CCP) Master Classes occur once a month, each focusing on a specific theatrical skill or trade. Each class is 90 minutes and features hands-on learning experiences taught by experienced artists, performers, and industry professionals. Classes allow students to explore different areas of theatre, learn something new, or perfect their developed craft.

Movement is just as crucial on stage as the words spoken, and this Master Class offers an exceptional opportunity to master that art. Students will not only learn to convey stories through dance but also enhance their skills significantly. With the guidance of a professional choreographer, participants will learn a beginner routine that creatively blends Musical Theatre and Hip-Hop. This class promises to be an invaluable experience for anyone eager to elevate their performance abilities.
