CREATIVE DRAMA
TEAMWORK
We like to spend some time building class relationships as a team before diving into the drama, so we'll spend a week getting to know each other. We'll learn to work together as a team by communicating ideas and respect what everybody has to offer.
READERS THEATER
This week we will improvise fairy tales and learn all about readers theater. It's similar to putting on a play but there are no props, sets or costumes and instead of memorizing the lines - you get to read them! At the end of the week, you'll perform in groups and show off your skills!
PUPPETRY
This is a two week unit where we will work with black light, shadow, and hand puppets. Plus, there may be some serious "Bowie" hair we can rock for fun!
STORYTELLING
This week you'll learn the art of theatrical storytelling. You'll hear, create, and perform various stories throughout the week.
MUSIC VIDEOS
It's time for a cougar favorite! You'll get to choreograph, lip sync and film a music video! Get ready to rock out and have a blast!
DESIGN TECH
This is where you get a little hint of what it is like to be in Design Tech (a 7th grade elective). It's like arts and crafts for theater, you'll get to learn about makeup techniques for "blood and guts" as well as design projects like sketching costumes or sets. It's a lot of fun, and if getting onstage makes you nervous but you love drama this might be your favorite week!
IMPROV
Whoo hoo! Improv is always a fun time. Improv days will be spread throughout the whole wheel and this is where we will play and act out using all kinds of games and exercises. Each game is designed to help improve basic acting skills - PLUS, they are super fun!
