HOW DRAMATIC

Every Tuesday evening for 8 weeks from 6:30pm to 8:00pm

This is a special needs class for Ages 15 +Some exceptions can be made

How Dramatic is a fun way to be loud and expressive. Students enjoy singing, dancing, moving creatively, playing instruments and listening to music. Focused on fun drama activities and music to help students reach into themselves and discover their full potential. Songs can help to improve vocalization or verbalization. They can also help to increase articulation, expression or reception skills. Singing used in addition to pictures and movement can also help to develop communication skills.

Moving and dancing to music is also part of the Dramatic activities in the studio. Ribbons, balls, a parachute, scarves, and bean bags and other props we use help children develop rhythmic movement. Laughter is also an important component of these sessions.

"How Dramatic"is open to all ability levels and is for those who wish to explore, and awaken or expand their acting skills or who just want to have some fun. We will work on theatre exercises and small scripted scenes.
