Stories Alive: 1-Day Residency

Students will engage the actor’s tools of body, voice and imagination to explore elements of storytelling including plot, character and dialogue. We encourage use of a story in your curriculum so that we can develop artistically on what students are already learning, or we can bring a new story to learn and engage with! This residency focuses on the key elements of storytelling, as well as ensemble building as a classroom.

Literacy Through Drama: 2-Day Residency

This two day residency uses theatre exercises to promote excitement about reading and improve literacy skills. Theatre strategies can increase comprehension, enjoyment, and confidence in emerging readers. After participants are introduced to the elements of story like plot, setting, and characters, they will engage dramatically with the story by becoming the characters and reenacting scenes. Through these experiences, students gain a better understanding of the story and create a personal connection to it. The story book utilized will be chosen according to the grade level.

“Arts integration provides so many opportunities for students to work through their learning in unique ways. I love seeing the confidence it brings and the connections integration allows them to make. Many of the ELA standards explored this week were ones many students have struggled with this year. I really feel like it helped strengthen their understanding significantly.” – 3rd grade teacher in Wake County Public Schools
