Today we learned about how different methods of acting or performing gets different results from the audience. We also learned a little about different genres such as tragedy, comedy, horror, etc.
I need to get some feedback from the parents about when and where we should have our year end talent show. Would you rather have it during co-op or in the evening?
Today's tidbit from the 4-H performing arts curriculum:
