Are you unsure if your child will enjoy a theatre class? Is committing to an entire semester a stretch? This class will invite you into the classroom to watch your child as they get a chance to sample some of our standard curriculum! The caregiver is allowed to observe (not required), and there are only four days to commit to.
Due to the short nature of this class, there will not be an end-of-semester “sharing.”
Get a taste of stardom and explore the process of theatre training through high-energy theatre games, improvisation, and activities. Create characters, explore dramatic interpretation of classic stories, learn lingo, challenge your imagination, and hone projection and articulation skills while engaging the body in purposeful physical expression.
Studying acting can offer numerous benefits to a child's development, both personally and academically.
- Communication Skills: Acting helps children develop strong verbal and non-verbal communication skills. They learn to express themselves clearly, use body language effectively, and articulate emotions.
- Confidence Building: Performing can boost a child's self-confidence. Overcoming stage fright and receiving positive feedback can contribute to a sense of accomplishment (Instead of a live audience, we send parents a recording of the end of session performance to share with friends & family.)
- Creativity and Imagination: Acting encourages creativity and imagination. Children learn to think outside the box, explore different perspectives, and develop a heightened sense of imagination, which can be valuable in various aspects of life.
- Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Through portraying different characters, children gain a better understanding of human emotions and different perspectives. This can enhance their empathy and emotional intelligence, improving their ability to relate to others.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Acting often involves working with others to solve problems, whether it's figuring out how to stage a scene or collaborating with fellow actors. This can enhance a child's teamwork and problem-solving skills.
- Public Speaking Skills: Acting helps children become more comfortable with public speaking, an essential skill in many areas of life. Whether presenting in class or later in a professional setting, the ability to articulate thoughts and ideas effectively is valuable.
- Discipline and Focus: Rehearsing a piece for performance requires discipline and focus. Children learn the importance of commitment, regular practice, and the value of hard work in achieving their goals.
- Physical Expression: Acting involves using the body as a tool for expression. This can improve a child's physical coordination, awareness of body language, and overall physical expression.
- Life Skills: Many of the skills learned in acting are transferable to other areas of life. Whether it's building confidence, developing strong communication skills, or learning to work effectively in a team, these skills can benefit a child in various personal and professional contexts.
