Marian St Theatre for Young People

Y4-6 focus is: Storytelling, Devised Theatre, and Introduction to Scripts

In this class students are encouraged to explore their imagination to the fullest whilst developing voice, movement, character, and stagecraft skills. Every week they build their confidence and creative expression whilst developing their performance skills in improvisation, devising (performance creation), and retelling of stories.

Course components

• Questioning of creative content; the big, the small, the why and the how
• Discovering the elements of play building
• Investigating character and relationships, situation, voice, movement, space and time, language and texts
• Scene work- understanding the scene, becoming a character, working with a scene partner, staging a scene, taking direction
