Our Program
Available in French too!
Day 1 - Imagination
Einstein said “imagination is more important than knowledge”. Through theatre games, exercises and skits the children will undergo “imagination training” and exercise this all important muscle.
Day 2 - Masks
Through the use of masks in drama children will focus on physical expression. Using drama games and mini scenes they will express emotions, portray characters and even tell stories using only their bodies.
Day - Improvisation
Improv teaches the kids to be brave and trust their ideas and abilities. Stretching their imaginations even further, kids will learn to think both creatively and fast on their feet. Group improv will be presented at the end of the class.
We change the program every year with different drama activities - although the themes for each workshop remain the same.
