KIDS IN ACTION

for 3rdto 6thgraders

Interactive Theater and Social Skills Workshop


Tutor: Domi Adamova, MA, M.Ed.
When: Fridays, 4.30 to 6pm (90min), September 14th, 2007– December 14th, 2007
Fee: $ 45/child/whole course

This set of interactive workshops gives children a chance to be creative, increase their self-esteem and practice their social skills, cooperation and team-work outside the usual school setting. The program is closely tied to Character Education and Art.

Every session children will first participate in discussions on different social and living skills followed by putting the skills into practice through various theater means: role-play, simulation, forum, improvisation etc.

Children will also experience different parts of a theater production: e.g. script writing, acting, prop and backdrop making, improvisation, and masks and costumes making.

The process and what children learn through their team-work and interaction with each other is most important in this course. However, at the end of the course there will be a short performance as an outcome of our cooperation.
