Creative Dramatics - Starts March 25 Does your 5 to 8 year-old child have an active imagination? We thought so! That’s why we are offering a special spring section of Creative Dramatics. This beginning acting class is created especially for our youngest performers. It will run every Wednesday for eight weeks, from 4 pm to 5pm starting on March 25 (finishes May 13th). The workshop will build basic theatre skills and cultivate self-confidence in the children. Class will consist of structured, improvisational, game-based exercises. Emphasis will be on keeping the pace fast, and keeping the mood fun, exploratory and safe. Play and exploration will be stressed over performance and “getting it right”. Creative Dramatics will be led by Laurie Ellington, currently the choral director at Hotchkiss School, the director of the boys’ a cappella group (The Blue Notes) and a voice teacher. Her experience as choir director, along many other theatre credits, makes her the ideal teacher to lead this program. Oh, and she is the mother of 6 year-old Jake, as well! Call 860-364-SHOW (7469) X. 100 to enroll. Space is limited. Cost for the 8 week program is $96, and class takes place in the Bok Gallery at TriArts.
