Previous acting experience is not required to take a class or workshop. Classes build skills that are applicable in all aspects of life: from the stage, to the family dinner table, to Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings and the workplace. Class subjects may include comedy, music theatre, improv, public speaking, role-play, party dancing, and social skills.<\/p>\n<p>Participants should be able to function in groups of up to 30 people with 1:4 staffing; independently meet self-care needs; follow directions; and demonstrate respectful, safe behavior at all times.<\/p>\n<p>Registration for ArtStream classes and performing companies are open to adults 18+. Classes for younger students are frequently offered in partnership with local organizations or schools.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.art-stream.org\/take-a-class\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.art-stream.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-1.07.04-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2022-02-16 at 1.07.04 PM\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1508\" width=\"1862\" title=\"Screen Shot 2022-02-16 at 1.07.04 PM\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/reg.learningstream.com\/view\/view_month.aspx?as=68&#038;wp=251&#038;aid=ART\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExplore Classes >\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.art-stream.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/41678499282_6e61d356a0_o-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"41678499282_6e61d356a0_o\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1707\" width=\"2560\" title=\"41678499282_6e61d356a0_o\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.art-stream.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/46272343994_9431cac5a3_o-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"46272343994_9431cac5a3_o\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1696\" width=\"2560\" title=\"46272343994_9431cac5a3_o\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<blockquote><p>&#8220;My son has many challenges with social situations and making new friends is very difficult.
