In this four-day camp students will learn the fundamentals of improv theatre. How do we create a scene without a script? We will focus on building characters, relationships and working with our scene partners to make a story.  We’ll exercise our imagination, creativity, and of course our comedic timing!

He is the Co‑Artistic Director of Dacha Theatre and a Production Associate at Youth Theatre Northwest, where he works extensively with teens, teaching and directing — including a recent staging of The Hobbit.

We invite you to join our theatre lab camp inspired by Lewis Carroll’s beloved tale Alice in Wonderland.We won’t be staging the story or its scenes; instead, we’ll be creating the imaginative world of Wonderland with our own hands - making characters from simple materials, inventing magical objects and accessories, and crafting treasures the children can take home.

We’ll also play plenty of theatre games for confidence, communication, and movement, practice acting and playful vocal exercises - all of it on the open-air summer stage of Resonance Studio Theatre!

What could be better than playing and building Wonderland outdoors, where nature itself helps create a magical atmosphere?

You will be guided through Wonderland by Nelya Galiakbarova, a professional theatre educator, director, and actress, and Svetlana Molchanova, an artist, teacher, and member of the gallery community.

About Workshop

In this three-session workshop, Mike Lion will lead a series of games, exercises, and experiments, introducing you to the world of clowning. Clowning is a vulnerable art form that challenges us to drop the masks and barriers we put up and access the deep emotions underneath. We'll nurture our childlike curiosity and sense of wonder as we laugh, cry and activate our mirror neurons. Training in clown will ground your presence onstage, expand your connection with the audience, and help you find joy and a true sense of play in your work.

Please wear clothes that are comfortable for movement and come ready to play!

Resonance Studio Theatre invites you to two days of exclusive acting masterclasses with Artyom Lyskov — a New York–based professional theatre and film actor!

Day 2 — “Confidence Under Attention”

This day is about performance in the most human sense.

How nervousness works. Where adrenaline comes from. Why we get overwhelmed the moment eyes turn toward us.

And most importantly — how to make friends with all of that.

We’ll break down what external attention really is: why it can feel heavy, and how to learn to receive it, redirect it, and use it to your advantage.

We’ll talk about stage fright — which, in truth, isn’t about the stage at all, but about what we feel when we become “visible.”

A very calm, very practical class.

More about life than about theatre: public speaking, meetings, presentations, new people, and all those “everyone’s looking at me” moments.

If you want to feel less anxious, sound more confident, and feel alive rather than tense — this is for you.

Resonance Studio Theatre invites you to two days of exclusive acting masterclasses with Artyom Lyskov — a New York–based professional theatre and film actor.

Day 1 — “How to build a believable connection”

This workshop is all about creating a genuine, lived connection with your scene partner — not “pretending,” but actually being present with another human being.

How to open up, stay vulnerable, stop hiding, really listen, and still remain grounded in yourself.

We’ll explore what true, responsive partner energy feels like — the kind that brings truth, depth, and a real exchange to the surface.

Expect plenty of partner work: noticing how contact is formed, what breaks it, and what — almost magically — brings it back to life.

This is Freedom + Game in the most practical sense: honesty, trust, and the courage to show up as yourself in front of another person.

If you’re an actor, this is your bedrock.

If you’re not an actor, it’s more valuable than any “communication training,” because everything here is real — no masks, no scripts. This workshop is perfect for anyone who works in pairs or in a team.

Dear friends, we invite you to celebrate the Old New Year with Resonance Studio Theatre!

When? Friday, January 9, 18:30-22:30
Where? Pine Lake Community Club (21333 SE 20th St, Sammamish, WA 98075)

✨ A magical family show with original music and songs, snowfall, a sparkling tree, and the scent of true winter wonder!

Before the show – children can enjoy making holiday crafts. After the show – join Father Frost and Snow Maiden by the tree for games, photos, and joyful moments with all the fairy tale characters. Children will receive holiday gifts, and grown-ups can warm up with hot coffee or tea. And as always, our buffet will be open!

Recommended for ages 3 and up — and for anyone who believes in Christmas miracles.

The performance is in Russian.

Dear friends, we invite you to the festive musical performance “Moomins and Christmas”!

Join us for a gentle, funny, and heartwarming journey where caring matters more than gifts, and warmth is found not just in blankets, but in the heart.
