Students create a magical evening, celebrating the art of poetry using the works of poet Shel Silverstein. This ensemble based performance piece has a curriculum that has strong emphasis on literacy through the arts, using the verses from one of the most beloved children’s poet of our time.  Students in the workshop will study and choose a selection of poems and through a rehearsal process, bring the stories and characters alive with song, movement and text.  The fully staged performance will highlight the individual student’s acting technique as well as exposure to an ensemble- building process through games, warm ups and performance experience.   This program is ideal for young performers who love to shine!

Dates: Mon-Fri, April 18 – 22, 2016, 12-5pm

Students learn and develop their Improv technique through a series of short- and long-form Improv games throughout this 10 class workshop.  Throughout the process, students develop a greater understanding of how to create characters, action and environment with Improv games that focus on Who, What and Where.  Individual technique, imagination and self-confidence are developed, while also building teamwork with games that include storytelling in-a-round, quirky characters, silly scenes and more!  The workshop culminates in a performance for friends and family by the Berkshire’s newest Improv Troupe!
