Moved to Act is an ensemble performance program, where students practice scene building techniques, that connect their own experiences with Burning Issues "” issues in their immediate communities or the world that generate a visceral response. Students will learn how to use Tableaus and other physical theater techniques in building a theatrical performance. Through this collaboration students begin to find solutions to tough problems through the use of improv and group discussions to see how they, regardless of their age, can participate in solving problems that are important to them.

Moved to Act has 3 components, Ensemble Building, Burning Issues, and Building Performance. Ensemble exercises help students build build and maintain respect for each other while creating content for their play. Burning issues will be generated through guided discussion groups of 3-4 students. Building the performance combines these conversations with the physical language/images developed earlier and then engages the students in creating and adding dialogue or poetry.
