Grades 3-4 Sessions

Students wanting to learn performance fundamentals (or expand upon their existing knowledge) will explore core elements of actor training, rotating through the various subjects each day: musical theater, creative drama, and acting/scene study.

These sessions are for students entering Grades 3-4 in Fall 2024, offered in one-week or two-week sessions for new and returning students. Classes are 9AM-3PM. There is no class on June 19, in honor of Juneteenth Day.

Beginning of Day: Each Academy day begins with a gathering to prepare, share goals, and encourage each other to do our best. Students will proceed to rotate through the following curriculum:

Musical Theater: Increase your versatility and work on new vocal and dance techniques while exploring the art of storytelling through words, music, and movement.
Acting: Explore characters, relationships, action and text while developing overall acting skills and confidence.
Creative Drama: Imagine, enact and reflect upon improvised situations. Through this process, students come to understand theater, themselves and the world around them.

End of Day: Each Academy Day concludes with a gathering to reflect and acknowledge the effort of fellow students.
