Summer Class for Kids at Ella Sharp Museum

Creative Dramatics - Entering 4th to 6th grades
Presented by Kurt Snyder of Center Stage Jackson

Students will be introduced to basic dramatic principles with theater games and exercises to promote expression, creativity, discipline, listening, and communication skills. Creative Dramatics students learn to: work well in groups, listen well, participate, follow directions, use their imaginations, use their voices to communicate clearly, use gestures and body movements, generate new ideas quickly and show enthusiasm for the various activities. Participants will explore the actors' main tools: the voice, body, and imagination. Focus will be on collaboration, improvisation, and ensemble work. The class will culminate in a performance for family and friends.

Monday through Friday, June 19 - 23, 2006.

Members $58, Nonmembers $70 9:30 am to Noon, Multipurpose Room at the Ella Sharp Museum
