Opening windows into your child's imagination!
Troupe Imaginarium is pleased to provide music by Flutes of Fancy
Dear Students & Parents,
Welcome to Troupe Imaginarium! We are excited to be
offering classes this fall at at Cato Center for Performing
Arts in Severna Park and at the Chesapeake Arts Center in Brooklyn Park.
We are looking forward to a fabulous fall semester!
Drama teaches children a host of skills including self expression, self-confidence, collaboration, team work, project management, memorization, public speaking, and strengthens reading skills. In addition, the art of dramatic interpretation exposes children to other people and cultures in a way that encourages understanding through creative expression.
During our classes, the students will learn
theatre terms, basic stagecraft, auditioning, writing, critiquing, be introduced
to working with a script, and experience the process of producing short one act
plays. Costumes and sets will be suggestive likenesses as the emphasis is on the
experience not the product. In some classes, parents will be invited to
attend an informal class performance on the last day of the session. More
information on the performances will be distributed at the beginning of the
class.
Each student will receive a folder containing the
“Actor’s Creed,” word games, class information, and the script if applicable.
Students in Nursery Rhymes and Puppet Play will also receive a music CD by
Flutes of Fancy , and Puppet Students
will receive a finger puppet. Parents, please remind your child to bring the folder to each class. Also, I
hope you will review the information, discuss the classes with your children
during the week, and encourage them to study their lines or practice the
exercises and skills we are learning. In those classes using scripts,
roles will be assigned by a random drawing of names on first day of session.
The only exception are audition workshops and advanced production classes.
We are here to provide a fun, educational, and creatively stimulating space for your child to develop public speaking and performing skills. It is our hope that we will grow and continue to provide excellence in craft and education for many years to come. To that end, should your child be cast in any offsite productions, please notify us as we would be interested in buying an ad for the program. In addition, we would also appreciate a credit in her or his program bio. (A tab listing upcoming local auditions can be found at the top of page). Also, we appreciate your patronage and recommendations to potential students. As a thank you for your support, we are happy to offer you a $5 discount on a future class for each paid student you refer.
