Description

Students in this class will review the basics of acting for the stage while taking a deeper look at how to use a script as a guide for creating bold choices as an actor. This class will also introduce specific acting techniques that can further the depth of their work and expand their range as a performer. This class will strengthen self awareness and trust in one’s self and in their peers.Through structured exercises, students will learn how to listen to their instincts, deliver subtext character-process, foundational work in script analysis and mindfulness of the ensemble.Classes will include vocal and physical warm ups, introspective exercises, scene study, personal reflection and imaginative exercises. My goal for this class is that students will develop a better understanding of their own personal strengths and how that applies to their unique abilities as an actor and as a person.

Brittney Mignano

I am so excited to share my love of the performing arts with the CYT community. My greatest passions have always been my work with children and my work in theater. I've been a nanny for over 20 years, taught at local preschools, worked as a homeschool teacher, led Shakespeare camps, founded improv clubs and performed with a variety of theater companies in Norther CA. Past roles of mine include: Little Red Riding Hood - Into the Woods, Marta-Company, Sara Jane Moore - Assassins, Julia -1984, Wendy - Peter Pan and Juliet - Romeo and Juliet. I'm a California native and received my degree in acting for the stage from the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York. Off stage I enjoy gardening, baking, volunteering, camping and spending time with my wonderful nephews. My main focus is to continue to support diversity and accessibility in the performing arts community.
