2024 Creativity Classes

MAY

Hodge Podge 

(Ages 7-9) TUESDAYS May 14, 21, 28 from 4pm-5pm

Sessions will focus on theatre games, socialization and creating fun crafts. All while we strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment where kids can express themselves freely, develop their imaginations, and expand their social skills by interacting with others their age.

 

Dueling Club

(Ages 10-14) TUESDAYS May 14, 21, 28 from 5:30pm-6:30pm 

There is nothing like a good swashbuckling scene with pirates or a Shakespearean soiree of swords to really make a production stand out. In this introductory sword combat class, students will learn the basic techniques that allow actors to safely and effectively convey sword combat on stage. Students will learn the parts of the long sword, the art of safety and fake swords, as well as being able to do basic blocks and parries. (dowels will be used in place of swords to learn, students will eventually get to use a stage sword under Mr. Ron’s supervision). 

 

Mini- Scene Stealers

In this workshop students will further hone their acting skills by learning to tell and further a story in a duet or group scene. This class requires no previous experience, but it does require a level of dedication as scenes rely on the attendance of all.
