Students will study several performing arts works on their own at home and then deepen their understanding and engagement with these works in a weekly 2-hour class. Drama warm ups, guided discussions, class activities, presentations, and more will be done as a class. At the end of the year, the class will perform a Shakespeare play.
This is an ideal first class for a middle school student, who is just beginning formal academic classes.
