Programs
Bringing Books to Life!
An introductory acting class combines with story-time as children engage in listening, discussing, and performing to better understand the themes of a book. They use their bodies, voices, and imaginations to pantomime characters and actions which are included in bringing the chosen book “to life.”
Bringing Scripts to Life!
In this introduction to dramatic literature, students learn that plays are intended not only to be read but to be performed! Approaching a script as an actor enhances students’ understanding of the plot, themes, and emotional journeys of the characters. The script may be one already read in class or maybe new to the students. Successful scripts used in past classrooms have been dramatic adaptations of Charlotte’s Web, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Little Women.
Page to Stage
Students work with a Teaching Artist to create a short adaptation based on a piece of literature or topic studied in class. The class begins by briefly discussing the creation and performance of theater, and then groups brainstorm and exchange ideas. In one or two follow-up visits, groups explore and put their ideas into presentation form, and then revise and perform their dramatic work.
