History Improv ~ Great Scientists (teacher TBA) 12:30-1:30pm
$125* per student ages 9+. Coming in January 2020!
Each week we will learn about a new great scientist from our past. Lessons will be taught in collaboration with the students and fun facts they bring in each week. We then bring in a theatrical spin to what we’ve learned and act out these historical figures and moments with improvisation games and character exploration living it on our feet and sometime rewriting history in the process. Our students need no previous experience in theatre or history to enjoy this program. We take all levels. It should be noted that history does have some mature content and while we will be very sensitive to this, our suggested age range for the class should be taken into consideration. Please let us know if you have questions, concerns or need to discuss. Some of the scientists we will study: Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall and more.

Through active creative exercises and theatre games, students will learn how to create a character, understand this great writer’s stories, and use their voices and bodies to convey the dramatic and comedic stories. This program provides a safe, fun and supportive atmosphere where students will be encouraged to make bold and creative acting choices, while also developing new levels of personal confidence, finding their voice and ensemble skills while learning this great story. Our classes favor physical movement and active learning over traditional lectures. The richness of the lessons lies more in the doing and feeling than in the intellectualizing of material.

The Odyssey coming in January 2020!
Take your understanding of Ancient Times even deeper with a fabulous study of “The Iliad”! In Homer’s Epic Poem, the story of the Trojan War comes alive. Although this poem focuses on the last two weeks of battle, throughout the poem references to Greek mythology and history are uncovered. Battles between Agamemnon and Achilles will be studied in class to understand the underlying themes of ego, honor, alienation & reconciliation. In “The Iliad”, each hero must determine his life story, and what he must give up to create that story. In this exciting new class, we will actively explore, learn and discuss this great story then jump to our feet with theatre exploration techniques to thoroughly understand Homer’s writings. Students will be encouraged to read selections at home and explore the theatrical side.

Each student will create their own character which will then embark upon a made-up adventure. Our teacher will be our Dungeon Master serving as the game’s referee and storyteller. Students will work as a group and do a weekly character writing journal and take turns updating the weekly story summary journal. Not only learning logic and problem solving, this will be a creative adventure for all! Please note: The content can often be dark but we will strive to avoid anything too dark or demonic.
