Drama Kids “TAKE 2” Program Description

Drama Kids is a skill-based drama program focusing on building our students’ confidence; not focused on building SHOWS. Our “TAKE 2” performance classes cater specifically to students who want to explore the basics of theater, want a challenge, and have a desire to perform more. Students will learn from an award-winning curriculum that encourages them to express themselves through communication, creativity, and collaboration all while building confidence!

Our TAKE 2 Creative Dramatics classes (for 1st-6th graders) and Acting Academy classes (for 6th-12th graders) run for 14 weeks in the Fall (Oct-Feb) and 14 weeks in the Spring (Feb-June). Classes meet weekly for 2 hours, and include:

  • Basic Introductory Drama Skills: acting tools body, voice, & imagination, building trust, collaboration (working together as an ensemble), speaking skills, spatial awareness, and much more.
  • Performance Skills:blocking, building characterization, improvisation, reacting, developing expression & stage projection.
  • Casting & Rehearsals:although we are not a performance-focused program, students experience the rehearsal process & line memorization techniques.
