At the Edge Theater each day is a new opportunity for adventure in this introduction to dramatic arts concentrating on imaginative play and collaborative work. In this program, we will be focusing primarily on imagination and creative movement. Students will learn how to express themselves artistically through movement and dance, acting games and creative dramatic exercises. They will learn how to work in a collaborative environment and will be introduced to essential theatrical skills such as vocal production and body awareness. This is a great introductory class that will give them the building blocks for future theatrical studies. A healthy snack is provided each day at 10:15am.
