Welcome to Theater Arts with Ms. Calicchio!
Course Description:
Students will be introduced to the elements of theatre, creative expression and social/historical/cultural elements of theatre. This class is designed to accommodate students who have no experience or may have previously been involved in theatre. Through theatre games and activities, students will learn to lose inhibitions, build confidence, stimulate imagination and gain trust in themselves as well as others in their groups. Students will learn and use theatre vocabulary in class discussions and the activities will specifically address the promotion and reinforcement of students' literacy skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students will exhibit and reinforce their skills through individual and group presentations, performances, movement and voice, character building, script and reflection writing.
