DRAMA + STORYTELLING - KIDS AGES 8-12
Children learn a tremendous amount from playing. Drama games are a natural extension of a young child's normal play behavior. The difference, however, is that drama activities also teach children to understand rules, instructions, and acceptable modes of behavior. Drama games also help to build confidence in those who are shy or reluctant.
Moving makes us happy! This class will help students build spatial awareness and physical control through movement-based storytelling with a focus on joy and calm.
Being in a play is more than just memorizing lines – it’s telling a great story while collaborating with the other actors and artists. In this course, they will learn to identify and amplify what’s important in a story, to connect and respond to their scene partner, and to contribute to the story even when it’s not their line.
Students will concentrate on developing a wide range of vocal, physical, and imaginative skills. These concepts are fundamentals that all actors work on to continue their growth as artists. Students will be challenged to break out of their comfort zones!
At the end of this 8 week session, there will be a performance of a story which the children have collaborated on and created as a team. We encourage the students to make their own costumes. This will add to the creative theme of using our own resources and imaginations without having to go out and buy anything!​
