THEATRE EXPLORATIONS
Theatre Explorations is a playful, action-filled, yet focused exploration of the theatre arts. Emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and perseverance, students will explore various dimensions of characterizations through use of movement, voice, expression, and written text. Through script work, movement exercises, and games of all kinds, students will explore and hone their creative abilities culminating in a themed live performance on the last day of class.
This fall we are pleased to announce a 5-week Session: Family Edition!

Homeschool BAM!
Welcome to BAM: Build A Musical! This is a session of song, dance, character creation, and laughter. With the tools of drama, we will build a musical from songs you know and love. This class is perfect for those wanting to get their feet wet in Musical Theatre while also learning theatre skills that will aid them in their future growth as a well-rounded artist. Each Friday students will spend two hours collaborating, learning tone and non verbal facial expressions, and improv.
On the last day of the session, instead of being picked up at noon, students will prepare to show off their musical which parents are invited to come see.
Doors will open at 1:20 pm for our audience (parents, siblings, etc). The show will be presented at 1:30 pm. On this day (October 4th) please send students with a lunch.
