Beginner Level
This is an ongoing drama class that can be taken on a drop-in basis as well. Every week, we will explore a new story through acting. Students will use basic acting skills such as facial expressions, voice, face, body and imagination to bring the story off the pages. Students will repeat dialogue in the story after me. On every page, we will switch actors so every student has a chance to act and be an audience member. After the story is finished, we will participate in improvisation games to build off of the world of the book using our imagination and the themes/lessons of the story. Coming Soon: Wednesday April 3- Room on The Broom ( By Julia Donaldson) and Friendship Wednesday, April 10- The Gruffalo ( By Julia Donaldson)and Bravery Wednesday April 17- Chrysanthemum ( by Kevin Henkes) and Kindness Wednesday April 24- Broadway Bird ( by Alex Timbers) and Perseverance
