Pre- and/or Post-Performance Workshops

Grades: Pre-K - 12 ● 45-minute - 1 hour sessions
Available for schools attending Algonquin Arts Education Series
Enhance your classes' theater-going experience. Students will actively participate in discussion and activities that will educate and explore the issues, production elements, and/or themes within the play your class will view.

From Page To Stage...

Grades Pre-K - 4: Using a popular children's book that fits into your curriculum, students will learn how to take what's written on the page and act it out with minimal props and costumes.

Grades 5 - 12: Select a work of literature or a segment of history and watch as your students bring their imaginations and classroom subjects to life — recreating great figures in literature and history.

Acting/Playwriting Workshops

Creative Play
Grades Pre-K - 3 ● 45 minute - 1 hour sessions

Students will explore role-playing and character development by using theatre games and improvisation exercises incorporating art, music, movement and acting.

Full-Day Playwriting Program
Grades 4-12 ● 4, One-Hour Sessions

Through improv and acting exercises students will learn how to create stories and characters from scratch and will develop their own original work by the end of the day.

After-School Drama Residency Program

Grades K-8 ● 10 week program; 1 hour and a half per session; group will meet once a week
Need help creating a Drama Club or just want a creative outlet for an enrichment program? Then this program is just what you're looking for! Students will have fun learning how to act through unique improv exercises and theatre games. Teachers will learn these exercises as well so they may keep up the program after the teaching artist finishes the program. Students can either develop and write their own original play or use a scripted play or a short story to explore and rehearse. There will be a performance at the end of the program for teachers, family and friends.

Conflict/Resolution Workshops

Grades K-12
A teaching artist will customize a workshop based on social issues that are appropriate to your class and school. Using a drama workshop, students can explore any one of the following areas: character development, bullying, emotional violence, sexual harassment, peer pressure, and many more. You pick the topic; we'll provide the lesson!

In-Service Teacher Training
