Class Outline

Welcome to Performing Arts!  I sent home a class outline with each child.  In case it did not get to you or it gets lost.  Here it is:

(Dates are subject to change so make sure to check the blog every week)


Performing Arts – 2nd Semester

The goal of this class is to help students to become more outgoing and able to express themselves through theater.  This may be through acting, singing, dancing, playing an instrument, other types of performances or stage craft.  Each class will begin with warm-ups designed to help the young performers to be able to think on their feet, speak loud enough for others to hear and to have fun. 

Expectations:

-          Come to class ready to pay attention

-          Willingness to try new things

-          Support others!

Assignments: Prepare and perform a short act in front of the performing arts class.
                         Participate in a talent show at end of semester.

Bonus: (optional) Join the 4-H performing arts project and perform at the Pierce County Fair.
                               Enter an educational poster in the Pierce County Fair.
                               Perform a public presentation at the Pierce County Fair.
