Acting on the Spectrum
with
Robby Clater
(1-Week Online Class)
A class we are MOST excited about! This class is designed to help those throughout the Autistic Spectrum navigate the neurotypical world, using the same techniques actors use to hone their craft. Our instructor Robby Clater was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at 15 years old. He has since then been able to cultivate a successful acting career across Broadway and TV. Grow and maintain meaningful relationships in personal settings, and calmly and quickly adapt to changes in professional settings by using the transferable skills he learned while training to work as an actor.

Preparation: Nothing to prepare. Try to use your best lighting so we can all see each other.
