Adventure classes at TCT allow students to explore and grow in different areas of theatre. No previous experience is required, and students with previous experience will have opportunities for growth as well. Students can take multiple adventure classes and experience new opportunities every time. Adventure classes culminate in a free “informance” (informal performance!) on the last class session.
What is an informance? Informal + Performance = Informance. Most TCT classes end with an informance to give students the experience of performing in a fun and safe environment surrounded by their family and friends, and their TCT instructors!
