Adult Acting Class at Common Ground Taught by John Jimerson
First class is free! All other classes require full tuition.
Enjoy a supportive and challenging acting class with a teacher who cares about you and your work. We focus on a few simple concepts that grow into amazing performances (relaxation, actions, text analysis, relationships, and circumstances) and bring them to bear on your work again and again. Drawing on techniques from Stanislavski, Boleslavsky, Langdon and Shurtleff, we explore acting by getting up on our feet and doing it. Our goal is to bring as much of you to the role as possible. Largely self-directed, you choose the scenes, monologues and exercises that you want to explore. Dip your toe into acting for the first time, or dive into the deep. Classes are suitable for both working and beginning actors.
January 15 – March 8, 7pm (2-3 hours per class
Tuition: $200 for 8 weeks

CO-ED YOGA: STRENGTHEN & STRETCH
Saturdays at 10:00- 11:00 a.m.
WALK-INS WELCOME- $5 per class
This Iyengar-based hatha yoga class will focus on flexibility and strengthening and is designed for all levels. It’s perfect for athletes, people with limited flexibility or long-time practitioners looking to specify alignment and accuracy in their poses. Teacher Rachel Klem is certified under the Yoga: Body, Mind & Spirit training program and has been practicing Yoga for 20 years and teaching for 7. Please bring your own mat and props if you have them.
Why so cheap? We don’t have the same overhead as a studio and can charge quite a bit less per session because of this. We also don’t offer some of the amenities of a studio- practitioners must bring their own mats and props. But beyond that we believe yoga is a necessity, not a luxury.
