Devise & Improvise

Grades 5-8
Director: Anastasia Beliakova, Stage Manager: Jordan Auriemma
Students will learn fundamental skills in acting, improvisation, and playwriting as they collaborate to create and devise their very own original theatrical production. During this class students will wear different hats—actor, playwright, director, and designer—bringing all aspects of theater-making to life. On our final day the students will present a full 15-20 min performance for friends and family. Perfect for both performers who love the spotlight and artists who enjoy working behind the scenes!
