How it Works
IN THE MORNING:
Children will be divided into two groups to participate in one of the days
specialties. After a healthy snack, the groups will swap so that everyone has an opportunity to explore each discipline and their own creative voice.
IN THE AFTERNOONS:
Children will get to experience a menu of optional activities, workshops and/or guest performances that include: obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, making board games and much more!
What They Might Do
DRAMA-RAMA: Young actors will unleash their imaginations while learning to use their voices and bodies on stage through theater games and storytelling, making for a creative, interactive experience.
MOVEMENT MOJO: More of a dance experience than a class, these action packed dance sessions will keep them grooving. Young movers will use their bodies and imaginations to create their own movement. The perfect forum for kids to learn movement combinations that are challenging and fun. Dance explorations are influenced by modern dance, hip hop, contact
improvisation, and capoeira.
TUMBLE JUMBLE: Through acrobatics, dance and yoga, the world will be turned topsy-turvy and upside-down! Basic tumbling skills (cart-wheels and round-offs), upsidedown skills (head and hand stands) and elements of yoga (asana poses) will be explored.
MUSICAL MADNESS: A twist on traditional musical theater, young performers will learn fun musical numbers that incorporate staging, physicality and vocal technique. They will explore and collaborate, creating songs of their own. Drawing on various acting and singing styles, the experience is designed to help them find their voice along the way.
