At Columbia Children's Theatre, we know how important the arts are for a child's development, and we know how to have fun! Participation in the arts encourages the development of creativity, critical thinking, motor, teamwork, math, language arts, and leadership skills that students can use troughout their lives. We offer 2 sessions of age-specific classes taught by certified master teachers of theatre and/or professional working actors trained in theatre pedagogy.
Creative Dramatics for Early Years takes students on a journey exploring
the
actors tool box and how these tools help in the creation of character,
story and dialogue. Utilizing innovative approaches to arts education for
the elementary grades, Creative Dramatics for Early Years leads students
through the basics of pantomime, improvisation and beginning acting techniques.
Students showcase their work in an improvised production at the end of the
session.
