About CREATIVE DRAMA Residencies

This creative drama residency is structured to help students see, feel, react to and interpret their everyday world in imaginative new ways with an emphasis on play and improvisation. Playwriting on your feet! Language and analysis skills are developed and refined through theatre games, improvisations, stories, movement, and some writing activities (for older groups).

These lively sessions also lead into writing skills such as sequencing, developing characters, inventing dialogue, and using details. Activities may be linked thematically to curriculum and adapted for varying levels of English proficiency. Multiple sessions may culminate in an ensemble performance.
