LEARN...Build performance skills Movement and dance workshops begin with body awareness. Participants work on basics (flexibility, agility, coordination) and are introduced to various styles of dance. Important connections between movement and acting are made through physical theatre. Body awareness and breath support shared with voice work (both speaking and singing) are also developed in movement workshops. Creating original choreography and integrating movement with performance are the goals of the work. Sample new theatre techniques and traditions
Encore! employs ensemble technique as the underlying structure for both work and play. Trust, respect and sharing are the foundation of an ensemble. Members are encouraged to stretch themselves and take risks within a supportive group. This approach builds individual self-confidence, while it also builds collaboration and teamwork skills.
FRANCE...Explore the South of France Avignon
International Theatre Festival PERFORMANCE Street Theatre - Our trip to Avignon is not only a chance to attend performances, we become part of the festival with a piece of street theatre. This is a new experience for most participants. The dynamics of performing in the open air, capturing an audience, and staging for public venues is all part of this experience. Performing in the great Place du Papes before the Palace is an unparalleled thrill. You'll be able to say "I played the palace." Final Performance -The program culminates in the performance of an original piece of theatre created and performed by program participants. Instructors design workshops and guide students as they devise their play. Shaping and telling a story using the skills and techniques learned throughout the month is a great challenge. Family
and friends of program participants are welcome Encore! 2010
