Youth Weekend Workouts & Workshops
About the Workshops and Workouts
Join us select weekends for fun, educational workouts for students (4th-12th grade) designed to keep your skills in tip-top shape. Verve’s WEEKEND WORKOUTS feature the full complement of the Foundation and Working Actor classes, but in an a la carte format. They are designed to enhance ongoing training as well as supplement for those not able to commit to a weekly class. They rotate through topics and content and will keep your skills in tip-top shape. Weekend workshops and workouts are available individually or in a package.
- If you are not actively working on a film or theatre project, you should be in class!
- If you are signed with an agent, you should be in class! (In fact, many actually require it!)
- If you can't commit to the Youth Professional Training Program, these a la carte workshops are just the thing.
New to Verve? Great; we'll get you up to speed and you'll get the basics under your belt in no time.
Returning students are always welcome; we select new scripts each workout!
