The Early Elementary Conservatory Program

Jungle Drums by Graeme Base

 

For Students entering Kindergarten – Grade 2

Monday – Friday mornings, 9:00am – 11:30am, July 9 – July 20, 2012

Performance – July 20^th – 10:30am

Fee – $150.00

 

 

The K-2 Conservatory Program is a two week program of morning drama activities. Through theatre games, role-play exercises, creative movement and vocal activities students will further develop their emerging drama skills and learn to work together as an ensemble.

 

Graeme Base’s delightful book Jungle Drums tells the story of Ngiri, the Smallest Warthog in Africa, and what happens when he tries to get the other warthogs to stop teasing him about his size.  With Jungle Drums as our inspiration and creative drama as well as other artistic activities as our tools, the K-2 conservatory program will provide opportunities for our students to develop a greater understanding about why it is important to be kind to everyone, regardless of differences.

 

The children in the K-2 group will create an original performance piece inspired by Ngiri’s story.   They will rehearse their creation, compose songs, and design and create costumes and scenery, and finally present the finshed product for family and friends on the last day of the session.

The Upper Elementary Conservatory Program

Story Theatre by Paul Sills

 

For students entering Grades 3 – 6

Monday – Friday mornings, 9:00am – 11:30am, July 23 – August 3, 2012

Performance – August 3^rd – 10:30am

Fee – $150.00

 

 

The Upper Elementary Conservatory Program is a two-week session of morning classes designed to enhance social skills and self esteem while increasing proficiency in the Theatre Arts. Through daily rehearsals and theatre games and activities we will focus on skill building and ensemble development as well as basic choreography, character study, acting technique and physical/vocal warm-up skills.

 

Paul Sills script, Story Theatre is a funny, fast-paced collection of short plays from Grimm’s Fairy Tales which includes such classics as The Bremen Town Musicians, The Fisherman and His wife, and The Master Thief.  We will take our 3^rd Through 6^th graders on an ensemble-building journey using some of the plays from this work.

 

On our last day of class students will proudly present their work on their own version version of Story Theatre for family and friends.

The Summer Shakespeare Intensive for Teens 

Twelfth Night, or What You Will

 

For students entering Grades 7 – 12 as well as 2012 High School Graduates

Monday – Friday afternoons, 12:30 – 4:00, July 9 – August 3, 2012

Performances – Friday August 3rd, 7:00pm, Saturday August 4th, 3:00 pm

Fee – $300.00

 

 

William Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night finds Orsino, the Duke of lllyria, in love with his neighbor, the Countess Olivia. She has sworn to avoid men’s company for seven years while she mourns the death of her brother, so rejects him. Nearby a group of sailors arrive on shore with a young woman, Viola, who has survived a shipwreck in a storm at sea. Viola mourns the loss of her twin brother but decides to dress as a boy to get work as a page to Duke Orsino.

 

And that’s only the beginning!

 

Our Summer Shakespeare Intensive for Teens is four weeks of afternoon sessions designed to provide training in physical theater, movement and voice work, and to enhance acting techniques, character development skills and ensemble building through immersion in the world of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.  The four weeks of afternoon rehearsals will also include body and vocal training, theatre games and improvisation activities and will culminate gloriously in two rollicking, public performances of Twelfth Night.

The middle and high school kids and our music teacher and I have jumped into the study of silent film and how the soundtrack effects us as we watch it with both feet this week.  We have been showing the children different types and genres of silent films and asking them to pay particular attention to what the music is telling them during each scene.

This coming week we will begin work on a storyboarding project, asking the students to storyboard the production of Peter and the Wolf we watched and then – take a deep breath – asking them to come up with the story for their own silent film and to create a storyboard for that one.

Sounds simple?  I am not sure what will happen!  But if I know these guys – and I feel like I am starting to know them -  it will be a fun, quirky and very original project.  And chaotic, of course, at least at first.  But at times like this I always remind myself :

You must carry a chaos inside you to give birth to a dancing star.

OK, future dancing stars, let’s get started…
