Description

Get ready to flex your funny bone in this high-energy acting class! Performers will learn to act with their whole body—using exaggerated movement, expressive faces, and bold physical choices to create unforgettable comedic moments. Drawing inspiration from classic Commedia dell’Arte, students will explore timeless techniques like slapstick, stock characters, and physical gags that never fail to get a laugh. This class is all about discovering what makes something funny, and how to land it. Finish the session with a final showcase performance that puts your comedic timing to the test and proves that physical comedy is serious business... sort of.

Jonny found musical theater and CYT at the age of 17, and he absolutely loves it! He has performed in 3 CYT shows with the role of Gomez Addams being his favorite! But most of all he loves the wonderful friendships and the outstanding community at CYT, and that’s why he is super excited to continue investing in the next generation!
