25 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Your young one will join in class and warm up their bodies, voices, and imaginations through theatre creative dramatics. Through songs and games, your little one will find ways of self expression while working as an ensemble. Theatrical songs and storytelling will give each child ways to stretch and grown and be creative. Game-based cooperative storytelling and theatre techniques engage the imagination, promote problem-solving, teach communication, and nurture self expression in a structured and positive way - all while kids are having a blast!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the three tools actors needs to be big and bold on stage - their bodies, their voices, and their imaginations. Students will learn ways to warm up these tools and why we need to warm up these tools. They will find ways to express themselves and be big and bold and becoming and important piece of a theater ensemble.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Towson University
I am back from hiking the Appalachian Trail! I am opening up my teaching schedule and up to schedule requests (and class requests). In January, I begin a MFA in children's book writing but will be able to continue teaching.
I am a theater educator and artist based in Chicago, IL. I am the founder and director of Storytown, a fully improvised, interactive adventure for kids. Through Storytown, we work to cultivate creativity and arts appreciation while audiences to story structure and problem solving.
I graduated from Towson University with BA in Theater Arts and then moved to Chicago to study improvisation. I studied at the iO and Second City. I have performed around Chicago with iO, Second City's Skybox Theater, Moving Dock Theater Company, Redtwist Theatre, and WNEP with Seven Deadly Plays and 365 Sketches.
I focus on improvisation because it teaches students to express themselves while being big and bold. When we fail, we fail greatly and get right back up and try again. My goal is not to train students to be actors when they grow up, but rather to make them better humans. I focus on "yes, and" and ensemble building. I believe we're better when we support each other and work as a team.
I live in Chicago with my cat Sonny and my husband. We love hiking and camping when we can. Not Sonny, but she does like laying outside on our balcony.Reviews
