What we'll do
This is a drama group for homeschoolers between the ages of 13-15. These weekly classes will develop creativity, confidence and teamwork. The class curriculum includes theatre games, movement, improvisation, stagecraft, and performance technique. Our sessions will begin with a physical warm-up and move on to character-based improvisation games, followed by a series of projects including playwriting workshops, text work and how to build a story. We will build to a sharing of the work at the end of the term for parents and friends.
