Past Workshops Include
Creating Theatre Masks: Your Inner Character
Unleash your students’ creativity as they transform into their favorite characters with our mask-making workshop. During this workshop, students will be introduced to different types of theatre masks from all over the world such as character masks, animal masks, and abstract masks. They will then create their own masks using a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, and plastic. Then, using their imagination, students will bring their masks to life! Come explore the world of theatre masks and unleash your inner character.
Poetry In Motion
This workshop combines the art of poetry and spoken word with the performing arts! Students will be guided through a creative process to write their own poetry – and then bring it to life! Finding inspiration in the world around you is key as students combine their own creative writing with bringing those words to life.
The Creative Method: Where Science Meets Storytelling
Do your students love writing stories and want to learn how to use the scientific method to make them even better? Then this workshop is for them! This fun and exciting workshop combines the art of storytelling with the scientific method. Students will learn how to approach writing scientifically by developing a hypothesis, testing it through experimentation, and analyzing the results to refine their writing. Let’s explore together the creative possibilities of science and storytelling!
