Question 1. Is your Video Instructor course a lecture?

Answer: No, it is a practical class with an Instructor giving detailed descriptions of the exercises, which are to be performed immediately, and in time with music.

Question 2. Can I skip a lesson if I feel that the exercises are too simple for me?

Answer: We wouldn’t recommend it because the exercises are stepped and in order for you to get to the final stage, all the preliminary stages are necessary.

Question 3. Can I do two or more Lessons in one day to finish the program faster?

Answer: We do not recommend this. The program is designed to be taken regularly two or three times a week and one Lesson at a time. Your muscles and your mind need the time to properly digest all the material given in the program.

Question 4. Can I take your Lessons together with other people?

Answer: Yes, we would even recommend you to do so. Theatre is a collective art and it would be beneficial to exercise with your peers. Just make sure the room is big enough to accommodate the students. Also, some of the exercises must be performed in certain formations, like a line, a circle, etc. Your Video Instructor will tell you more about it.

Question 5.Can I invite guests to watch me exercise?

Answer: Yes, very much so. Remember, at some point of your study in Theatre Arts you would have to demonstrate your efforts to the audience. Why not do it during the Stage Movement lesson? Besides, the tasks are mostly simple enough to perform perfectly and artistically, so it becomes interesting to watch.

Question 6. Can I get credit in my institution for taking this class?

Answer: Yes, you can. We have already been contracted by several Theatre Departments, which included this course in their programs. Students get credit after completing the course online and passing the Final Lesson in front of a faculty member. Let your department know about the benefits of incorporating this course in their Curriculum.

Question 7. Does this course contain everything a student should learn regarding Stage Movement?

Soon to come on this website is the course called "Period Movement and Period Dance," then there is "Stage Combat", and "Mime." The course "Essential Stage Movement" will develop your essential Faculties, Habits, and Skill, which you can use later in mastering other special skills for your future profession.
