CREATIVE DRAMA (ages 4-5)

Children explore theatre through games, songs, and movement to enact a short story based on the class theme. We explore connections between emotions, body, voice and imagination. We use creative play to learn to listen, to work together, to challenge our creativity, and to follow directions.
Children are welcome to wear costumes from home. (Keep it simple: no capes, limited accessories, no need to change during class.)

MINI PLAY (grades K-2 & grades 3-5)

​Mini Plays are classes for young actors to understand the foundations of acting and rehearsals. We explore the process linking the page to the stage through games, warm-ups, acting, music, and dance using an original 5-10 minute skit written by staff and based on our theme with a speaking role for each student. The class explores the fundamentals required to appear in a production: auditions, memorizing, blocking, and taking directions. We use these short scripts to teach listening skills, collaboration, risk, creative expression, focus and following directions.

Attendance to each class is important to help build confidence and rehearse and review the script. Students perform in simple costumes on the final day of class.
