PARTNERS-IN-PLAY -- BIRTH
- 5 YEARS & ADULT PARTNER
Partners-In-Play is about discovering
and creating a special play relationship with your child and providing new
insight into how you can encourage playful, learning environments
that lay foundations for your young person’s language, social
and creative development.
Families come join us for our Run
Away Bunny Book Club!, This story comes to life through story drama
and interactive playful learning activities. You and your child will
explore the endearing story with teaching artist Marie Vukin. This
very active approach to storytelling will explore the use of imagination,
body, and voice. We will also use our developing skills of concentration
and cooperation as the story unfolds. Children will also have the
opportunity to have free play in our fishing pond, in the bunny hutch
and on a sail boat. This hour long book club is the right combination
of story drama, playful learning and time for parents to connect with
others.
Contact Marie at marie@triketheatre.org and
make your reservation for a morning session from 10:30 to
11:30am, or an afternoon session from 1:00 to
2:00 pm, on March 17, 18, 30 or 31. Sessions will be scheduled
when 8 families register. Individuals and groups are welcome to reserve
a play date. The cost is $8.00 per family.
Creative Players I students experience
familiar stories from the inside. Using Walton Arts Center productions
and children's classics for inspiration, students will imagine
and explore settings, characters, plot and themes of the stories
and retell them through verbal and nonverbal activities,
music and dance. They will engage in social imaginative
play, explore the stories as an ensemble while strengthening
their cooperation skills, and bring their stories to life
through creative drama and movement.
Creative Players II
students explore the process of theater using the actor's tools of
body, voice, imagination, concentration and cooperation. Students
use Walton Arts Center productions and children's literature as a
springboard for building theatre skills with the group through
improvisation and tableaux (frozen pictures). Students will collaboratively
plan and demonstrate various ways of staging their classroom
dramatizations.
Students
learn how to work as an ensemble as they build skills in character
creation, improvisation, concentration, movement, voice, and imagination.
Young actors learn basic acting concepts, build skills, and have fun
developing technique.
TRIKE CONSERVATORY -- 3RD - 12TH
GRADES
In the Trike Conservatory program, young actors learn core
acting skills and discover what it means to respond truthfully rather
than indicate or “show” what a character is thinking or feeling. Actors
deepen their knowledge of character, scene study, choreography
for the stage and voice and movement. All Trike Conservatory
Teaching Artists are professional actors and/or directors.
