Performing Arts

This course supplements THY ANCIENT EXPERIENCE. Through their exposure to the historical events, mythology, and culture of the ancient world during the week, students become familiar with important themes in classic literature. Theatre allows students to explore these classic characters and storylines from a different perspective to bring them to life on stage. Students begin to see literature, not just as words on a page, but living characters, each with their own story to tell. As actors, students are challenged to step out of their comfort zones and into the shoes of another to explore the personalities, traits, styles, and stories of others, to form real characters from scripts. They learn the concepts of stage presence, physical movement, voice control, character development, rehearsal techniques (including improvisation), self-discipline, teamwork/collaboration and have the opportunity to build their confidence.
This course also explores the background and off-stage elements of theatre productions with opportunities for students to participate in set design, costume design, lighting/sound, and stage management. Students will produce two fully-staged theatrical productions each school year.

Little Performers K - 2nd Grade will have a their own performance.
