Information: Participants are trained in the basics of creating a character, improvising short scenes, and effectively staging them. Students brainstorm community issues and create scenes which help them learn about topics that concern them and prepare them to teach others by using role play. Advisors and students will learn basic steps to use as they facilitate and participate in dialogue with the audience after each scene is concluded.

Using theatre and role play is lively, interesting and educational! The training is as impactful on the students who participate in the training as it is for the audiences who watch the programs that you set up in your school or community. The training is improvisation! No scripts, no props, no fancy costumes or funny hats. You don’t need to be an academy award-winning actor or director, just an advisor with eager students interested in starting a school troupe and have them perform in your community.

GOALS:

• Players will be trained in basic skills of characterization, scripting and staging
• Students will create a core of 3-4 scenes and music sketches
• Troupe will bond as a team
• Advisors will learn and practice the basic skills of processing
