This fall we are pleased to offer the following outreach workshops:
- Drama Quest
A grand adventure through a jungle awaits! Using active and energetic role–playing in a dynamic group setting, students will develop problem–solving skills by engaging their communication and imagination skills. Your students will have so much fun they won’t realize that they’re learning!
Grades K–2 max 30 students
- Acting
The basic tools of an actor’s trade–observation, memorization, concentration, and imagination are presented and explored in an entertaining manner. The students participate in a variety of fun exercises, learning to apply the actor’s tools to both performing and everyday life.
Grades K–2, max 30 students; or grades 3-12 up to 60 students w/assembly–style option
- Mime
People communicate with each other in many ways. Much of that communication is done without ever needing to speak. See how isolations, illusions, key gestures, and body language are all used to tell a story.
Grades K–2, max 30 students; or Grades 3–12 up to 60 students w/assembly–style option
- Improv
Participation and teamwork are emphasized as the students learn to act without a script. This workshop can be geared to all skill levels of students from beginners to more experienced performers.
Grades K–2, max 30 students; or grades 3–12 up to 60 students w/assembly-style option
- Behind the Scenes
Most people don’t get to see what happens before the curtain rises. This workshop explains how the process of role-play helps to increase communication skills and teaches constructive group dynamics.
Grades K–2, max 30 students; or grades 3–12 up to 60 students w/assembly-style option
- Bored Schmored – Let's Put On A Play!
An entertaining and interactive assembly–style program designed to expand the imagination. A few chosen audience members create and participate in scenes and short plays to help alleviate the boredom of a "rainy day," all the while learning a little bit about theatre and the power of their own imaginations.
Grades K-6, 600 students max (Assembly/Performance Style)
Grade level adjustments for this workshop can be made to accommodate special circumstances.
