Every child is brilliant in his or her own way.
Theater Games motivate children to think in new ways and move in new directions to explore their relation to each other, themselves and their environment.
Playing theater games helps to draw out the
natural
intelligence and humor inherent in each student, creating
opportunities to explore their unique abilities and explore their
own treasure house of creativity.
This inspires an "I can!" attitude that stays with them long after
they've left the stage.
The Class will be made up of Theater Games and will introduce young
actors to our weekly ongoing Friday after-school workshop.
Classes can be attended by parents as well and if you decide to
stay, you may be asked to play!

Young
Actor's Class for TEENS 11-13

Acting for the theater evolves
naturally out of playing.
Recognizing this source of energy, famed educator/director/teacher
Viola Spolin (regarded as the mother of American improvisation)
applied the game form to theater disciplines and arrived at her
widely acclaimed Spolin Theater Games technique. This class will
introduce children to games that will give them the ability work as
a group on stage as well as introduce them to the building blocks of
Improv, ensemble work (group agreement) who (relationships,
occupations etc.), what (the action of scenes) and where (locations
of scenes). As we get familiar with stage techniques, we will work
on story theater scripts and work towards producing small mini-plays
in the form of Story Theater.
Six Weeks Beginning Oct. 2008
