What are Technique, Play Creation, and Performance classes?

26 Aug What are Technique, Play Creation, and Performance classes?

Technique classes are focused on the process of building skills. Students may approach a different topic or theme each class, testing and applying skills in different ways. The final day of class usually involves a showcase where we welcome parents and families to experience the skills students have learned.

Play Creation classes are all about creativity and teamwork. Teaching artists guide students through creating characters, a story outline, and writing a script that will usually be presented for parents and families on the final day of class.

Performance classes are focused on creating a performance piece. Lines and/or songs are memorized, movements are polished, and each class builds on the work done the previous week. The final day of class includes a performance of the finished play, dance, or musical revue.
