After School Theatre Class
Imagine If every Monday, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
age group: 5 to 10 years old
Instructor: Sara Escott
In this class, children will participate in art, creative movement, improvisation, character play and storytelling, in addition to mindfulness meditation and movement activities. They will learn about themselves, each other and the world around them. Through collaborative creative play, kids will have fun while building communication skills, self-esteem, and greater social awareness.
These classes are placed to build confidence and social skills through theatre and collaborative play, and great for shy kids to safely come out of their shells, for energetic kids to focus creatively, and for everyone to imagine together.
