Participants will enter the world of the story to explore character, setting, conflict, point of view and specific details. Using improvisation, discussion and imagination, students work together to solve a problem that is central to the story.
In Creative Drama students are introduced to the world of theater through storytelling, arts & crafts, theater games, and most importantly, their imaginations!
This class is a basic introduction to theater skills. Students will become comfortable performing on stage by playing theater games, building characters, engaging imagination, and acquiring basic theatrical knowledge
Beginning students who are just breaking into music will be introduced to vocal placement, projection, rhythm, tempo, and much more, using a variety of musical numbers.

‘The best music never grows old’. There is no better example of this than the songs of The Beatles from the 1960s, which are still sung, arranged and enjoyed today – more than half a century later!
Beatles songs changed pop music forever. ‘Homework’ will simply be to listen to a designated Beatles song. In class, we’ll learn a little Beatles history followed by studying the designated song via an interactive worksheet. Learn what makes Beatles songs great and why this music has ‘stood the test of time.’
How many of today’s pop songs will still be relevant in fifty years?
