CLASSES OFFERED INCLUDE:

 

Imagination Station (4-5 yrs) 9:00-9:45am  $80

Creative activities geared to joyfully discovering expression through movement, imagination, and role-playing.  We also focus on the kids creating their own mini-plays that the teachers transcribe for them, and which we choose from to read aloud at the final showcase.

 

Story Players (6-7 yrs)

9:00-10:00am $100

Students will dramatize well-known stories while developing self-confidence and basic expressive skills.  We begin with fairy and folk tales and then work towards a more recent story for our showcase.  Some stories we've dramatized for past showcases:  If I Ran the Zoo, Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose, The Day the Crayons Quit

 

Acting Initiation (8-9 yrs)

10:00-11:30am $110

Students build their own characters and work on team-building skills as they collaborate to create their own play.  We begin with theatre exercises and games, brainstorm genres and plot ideas, hold a classroom caucus to decide on our plot idea, and then the teachers write a play specifically for the students around the idea they have chosen together.  Some recent plays we've created in past showcases:  Ernest Shackleton Goes to Egypt, The Trojan War Abridged! (Or Beware the Golden Apple), A True Western.

 

Improv and Film(10-16 yrs)

10:00-11:30am $110

We've decided to combine 2 classes into one!  Students will learn the rules for improvisational acting and the basics of acting for film.  A fabulous class in gaining a practical understanding for comedy, social skills, confidence, and practicing an engaged dynamic presence through improv games.  They present a "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" style show at the final showcase.  At the same time, students will be working on short film scenes and/or monologues which will also be presented at the final showcase.
