YOUNG ACTORS LAB

MAPA@Brava and SFBATCO Present The Young Actors Lab Summer Program

Are you a high school student interested in theatre? Join MAPA@Brava and SFBATCO this summer for our Young Actors Lab (YAL) intensives. In sessions led by some of the region’s most accomplished professionals, students will develop their craft while building a relationship with Brava and SFBATCO, which KQED recently called “one of the most critical developers of new work in the Bay.” Students will gain a wide range of skills, including:

  • Script analysis, helping actors make bold choices that serve the script

  • Movement and physical expression

  • Dynamic vocal technique and production

  • Collaboration and ensemble building
