Art & Theatre Workshop Week

Scenes (get it?) from our workshop week.
In Acting Through Games students practiced acting skills by playing games!
What skills are learned and practiced by playing games? Plenty!
Pantomime, teamwork, vocalization, eye contact, improvising, imagination, creativity...oh, the list goes on and on or until you lose interest and move on to viewing pictures.
Why deliver these great skills using games? Games are fun! It's okay to laugh when something is silly and to learn through play. After all, fun is contagious!

Every time I checked in with the class and instructors, everyone was smiling, laughing and learning. I had to capture it on film! For the most part, this was challenging because kids - especially theatre kids - love to ham-it-up when a camera is present...but I caught some candid shots!
After each game, everyone would gather 'round and discuss what happened!
Great group of kids = great, fun week!
