When the world outside slows down, we get moving! This winter at Lovegood, we’re exploring Movement—in body, story, and spirit. From expressive storytelling to the physicality of performance, this season invites students to discover how motion transforms emotion. Expect classes that stretch the imagination, get hearts pumping, and bring stories to life. Perfect for those cold winter days when you just have to keep moving!

UK Accents (Ages 8+)
Work with The Wind in the Willows director & artistic director Evan Aldrete on learning accents from the United Kingdom. If you are cast in The Wind in the Willows, this class will help to supplement your accent training in rehearsals.
“In light of our new lineup of shows—and our commitment to ongoing learning here at the theatre—I’m opening up a weekly one-hour class focused on UK accents. We’ll work on RP, Cockney, Midland, Irish, and more. The class will have a classroom-style format and is ideal for acting students looking to expand their accent repertoire. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up soon.
See you then!”
