FAQs
Will there be a performance at the end of the 8-week course?
No. While the students will be going through the process of creating a show and will be creating parts of a show in class, this class focuses on letting them explore the process rather than working to present a fully produced piece.
How can the course cater to both beginning and advanced students?
This course is able to challenge novice and advanced students alike because it focuses on the skill of practicing creativity. Some terminology and theatre history is incorporated that may be review for students who have had previous theatre experience/training. However, because the focus is not on previous knowledge, but on the act of creating, teachers are able to challenge each student individually.
