Stories To Stage (Costuming & Masks-Making!)

TUESDAY 3:30-5:00

1st-4th grade

Join us as we play with stories!  We will explore stories from a variety of mythologies from across the globe, adapting our favorites into a script for the stage, complete with original songs. We will design and create masks/costumes with papiér-mâché, fabric and a variety of materials and oddities, learning how to perform in them as we practice both songs and script.

Skills Learned:

• storytelling

• character development

• Songwriting (children will have access and help to all our instruments such as the ukulele, keyboard, percussion, and other sound-makers)

• mask-making and papiér-mâche

• Hand-sewing and costume embellishment

• theater games

• Performance techniques

• Collaborative and individual creative environments
