The Little Lab

The Acting Experience is open to kids under our youth division, The Little Lab. The Little Lab is an after school acting studio school for kids ages 4 through 16. In weekly private sessions, we explore the art of performance through voice and body warm-up, improv, paraphrasing and personalization, animal work, sensory exploration, and the luminous texts of William Shakespeare. We’ll cover principles of stage, screen, audition prep, and public speaking, some specific to the trade, and others applicable to all aspects of living and being. Articulation, improvisation, confidence, and self-direction are all in the mix. Expect focus and fun.

Then expect to see expansion, 3-dimensional growth, imaginations ignited, and gravitation toward center stage. Magnetism lives there.

To see my children come alive is one of the greatest gifts I know. Natane sparks a light in both my kids I’d never had the privilege of seeing before.

~ Cindy Diprima

My son has been taking acting and voice lessons from Natane for almost a year now and it has been such a blessing. We are truly so grateful for her presence in our family and look forward to many more years of working with her.

~ Kristin Beumer

I love working with Natane because she has helped me grow in many ways as an actor. I look forward to all of the growth from working with Natane.
