TWEEN CLUB TOPICS
Jan 27: Nice to Meet You! My Name is…
Ever wish you could be someone else for just a little while? Today’s your perfect opportunity (but just for a little bit because we love all your unique selves)! Focusing on how a character talks and how a character moves tells the audience a lot about who someone is. We’ll explore character concepts and jump into plenty of different roles.
Feb 10: Marco! Polo!
Today’s club will focus on the beauty of call and response. On a set, all actors have to rely on each other, their crew, and themselves to maintain the fluidity of a scene and the entire show right in front of audience’s eyes. We’ll practice thinking in the moment and explore how to move and speak all together
Mar 23: Lights, Camera, ACTION!
So you’ve performed on stage and think you know everything? Well today let’s change everything you THOUGHT you knew and perform for a whole different audience, the camera!
Apr 20: Up with Puppets!
It’s time to create our dream scene partners! We’ll spend the afternoon using our prop skills to build unique puppets and learning about the history and types of puppetry . Then we’ll actually perform with them! No ventriloquist skills necessary!
May 18: Ready, Set, CREATE!
Calling all performers and backstage crew! Today’s club has a little bit for everyone. We’ll be handing over the creative freedom to YOU as we create our own scripts, sets, and everything in between. Let’s combine our skills from this past year and get creative!
