Teens are invited to participate in our acting intensive and production, which distinguishes itself from other theater groups by educating its members in all aspects of theater (not just acting), using the play as its vehicle for education. Members participate in our process that’s designed to educate them—not only in theater, but in all facets of life. We at Full Impact Theater believe that training in the theater arts is an invaluable advantage in today’s world. Through the integrated arts discipline of theater performance, teens will develop self-confidence, personal-expression skills, integrity, a sense of responsibility, and problem-solving and time-management skills. Theater provides a safe and nurturing venue for teens to explore life’s challenges while working cooperatively with others. Through theater, teens learn to act on their dreams. Full Impact Theater guarantees each registered and eligible** member a role. (Our cast is capped at 40, so register early.) Our distinct auditions serve to match each member with the role that best fits him or her. (No advance preparation is needed to audition. Just come and participate.) During King Lear, actors will not only learn their lines. They’ll learn what every word Shakespeare wrote in the play means, in addition to the historical context of the times. Our members love Shakespeare and aren’t intimidated by The Bard—because our process allows them to “get it.” This wonderful gift carries over to their future, when they’re reading Shakespeare in school or on their own. Our Shakespeare in the Park auditions, rehearsals, and performances will all take place outdoors in Rochester Municipal Park, near the Kiwanis Shelter, rain or shine. Auditions are Thursday, June 7, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Attendance by teens and teens under 18 with an accompanying parent or guardian is mandatory—no exceptions.) Rehearsals are Monday through Thursday, either 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., beginning June 18. (Full Impact Theater double casts its summer productions, so which rehearsal each actor will attend depends on his or her casting.) Performances will be Friday through Sunday, August 3 through 5. Full Impact Theater is a full-volunteer organization. We depend entirely on our members and their families to make each production a success. Therefore, we require each actor/family to volunteer 15 hours during the course of the production. We offer choices of assisting anywhere from costumes to concessions. (This policy is nonnegotiable.) For more detailed information about Full Impact Theater or our summer intensive, please visit our website, www.FullImpactTheater.org, or email [email protected]. * While it is Shakespeare, King Lear may not be suited to every family. We ask that each teen/family read King Lear prior to registering so there are no thematic or language surprises. Full Impact Theater’s teens perform substantive works, and we do not alter our scripts. ** Please visit our website, www.FullImpactTheater.org, for eligibility requirements.

This class brings together eyeopening experiences, technical lessons, critiques, and the instructor’s one-on-one meetings with each participant teaching them to look through the viewfinder with fresh eyes. The class will focus on developing a natural eye first, and then technical skills. Students learn how to deal with tricky lighting, location nightmares, uncooperative subjects, and other issues, alleviating unnecessary pressures during a shoot so you are able to capture the best shot of any portrait, nature or landscape scene. During the class, outdoor experiences take students through key steps towards enriching photographs of the natural world, focusing less on objects and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places. Clothed models will be used for our shoots to help students practice the lessons taught in class. Three onlocation photo shoots will take place in Oakland, Macomb or Genesee counties on Saturday mornings for 2 hours (sometimes as early as sunrise!), (6/16, 6/23 & 7/14). Any camera can be used.

Class topics include a range of personal safety strategies from how to handle a bully without fighting, to how to identify and protect yourself from a stranger. Each week a personal safety topic is covered and specific techniques are practiced. These classes provide your child with the techniques to enable, broaden and advance their personal safety strategies. Tremendous self-confidence is achieved! Program Notes: • The art of self-defense (Sanchin-Ryu) is taught, which provides great exercise, entertainment and encourages each person to develop a greater level of discipline in his/her life. • Program is run in a positive, structured class environment. • Parents are encouraged to attend. The art of Sanchin-Ryu is taught in a way that allows adult students to grow and learn at their own pace. We’ve found that this builds self-confidence, helps understand stress management and increases composure and self-defense awareness. This program is also a great family activity! Common sense selfdefense ideas and techniques are examined and instructed. The Advanced Youth Sanchin-Ryu program is held in conjunction with this program. Youth students ranking Green Belt (2nd level) and above continue their Sanchin-Ryu training.

Your Lymphatic System is a vital system of the body. It is interactive with every organ and is directly related to immune function and efficiency. It is a protector and a defense mechanism against infection, viruses, bacteria, fungi and disease. It clears toxins, wastes, excess fluids, and infection from all tissues of the body. Rebounding is reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times. As a result, every cell of the body is stimulated and strengthened. Rebounding has been shown to be 68% more efficient than running according to NASA studies. 42 For more information, call RARA at 248-656-8308, or visit us on the web at www.RARARecreation.org Fitness Join us for class!
