STAGE acting - gr. 4-5
Welcome to the BACKSTAGE PAGE for our STAGE ACTING 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!

CURRICULUM
STAGE ACTING focuses on learning basic acting techniques and developing confidence onstage. Students learn acting terms and techniques through interactive theater games and experiences and expand upon the concepts and skills they learn by utilizing them in rehearsing scenes and monologues. Each actor gets to experience creating characters of their own as well as portraying existing characters. Actors then begin rehearsing and memorizing a small selection of scenes to perform for an audience in an end of session showcase.
