PAGE TO Screen - gr. 2-3

Welcome to the BACKSTAGE PAGE for our PAGE TO SCREEN families.  Theater is a shared experience, often between actor and audience member, where one relies on the other for theater to happen.  Our Kidstock! class is a shared experience between our Educational Artists and our students, but we also believe that our Kidstock! class is a shared experience between you and your child!  We hope this page includes you in the creative and imaginative theater play we explore each week!

Brian Milton, Founding Creative Director

CURRICULUM

PAGE TO SCREEN focuses on acting in a film and learning film basics.  Students learn about terms used on set, green screens, and types of shots through playful screen acting games.  Each actor is cast in a role in a screenplay based on a storybook and contributes to a film that will premier at their end of session film screening.  Students learn about character development, props, and line delivery and contribute their own ideas to the screenplay.  Families will be provided with a downloadable version of the film.
