Sample Lesson Description: Student / Classroom Residencies

STORY DRAMA ( grades 3 - 5 )

Every class has its own story to tell! In the Story Drama series, students will use exciting tales and legends from Greek Mythology to explore the fundamentals of story-telling and work together to bring those stories to life. From the grand adventures of Greek gods and goddesses, to the daring quests of heroes like Achilles and Odysseus, students will have a blast using visuals, music, performance art, and games to create a unique “staged” version of their favorite story. A final presentation of the students’ creation will be recorded live via video chat on the final day of class.

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS PLAY CREATION ( grades 4 - 8 )

Join this class to dive into the terrible tales of the Baudelaire children and the greedy, villainous Count Olaf. This series of novels (now a Netflix tv series, too!) is full of wacky characters and curious capers; excellent material for scene study! Students will analyze and act out selected scenes from the books and tv series, with opportunities to create costumes, props, and set pieces for the final performance. This program teaches valuable theatre skills such as creative collaboration, memorization techniques, identifying objectives and motivations, and character development.

TINY MODES (AGES 2-4)

In our introductory class for young musicians, we will sing songs, explore instruments and have fun with music! All levels are welcome, but we encourage students with little to no experience to get them comfortable in a music setting. Using the songs of Caspar Babypants, popular songs of yesterday and today, and campfire sing-alongs, we will discover rhythm, song structure, lyrics and melody. A demonstration of learned material will be recorded via video chat on the final day of class.

BROADWAY DANCE PARTY! ( GRADES 1-5 ) 

Get ready to bust a move at the Broadway Dance Party! In this high-energy dance class, students will learn musical theatre dance routines set to music from hit Broadway shows like Newsies, Matilda, Frozen, and more! The class will learn proper warm-up techniques, important foundations for jazz, ballet, and theatre dance, and best practices for keeping your body healthy and strong while dancing -- and we’ll have a great time while doing it! Students will prepare a number of routines to be performed during our final class.
