THEATER GAMES (ages 6-9)
Theater Games will introduce kids (6-9) to the most essential aspect of acting and performance: Play! In this one week workshop, we will explore acting fundamentals such as improv games and movement exercises. Using these games as a foundation we will create a devised performance for parents and friends!
This is an opportunity for young artists to share their creativity with their peers, and see their imagination come to life by collaborating and communicating those ideas. We will focus on supporting one another, practicing being good audience members as well as performers as we watch each other grow.
Scholarships are available: Please don’t hesitate to apply if you need it. Scholarship forms are available here.
