Your Voice Your Stage: YOUth Create the Show
Saturdays 12:00-2:00
September 12 - December 12 (no class on November 28)
For grades 6-10
This program focuses on the development of the triple skills for Musical Theatre (Singing, Dancing, Acting) while putting together a performance that is unique to that group. Material could be drawn from:
The kids themselves – using themes they might want to explore or write about
Found material (on-line social media, on-line shopping, blogs, non-theatrical print material, etc.)
Pictures/photos to inspire monologues/scenes
Poetry and other existing texts
This program operates through the Lineage lens of story-telling as social action/healing.
