About the IMAGINE THAT! Residency

This creative drama residency is structured to help students see, feel, react to and interpret their everyday world in imaginative new ways. Language and analysis skills are developed and refined through theatre games, improvisations, stories, movement, and writing activities (for older groups). These lively sessions also lead into writing skills such as sequencing, developing characters, inventing dialogue, and using details. Activities may be linked thematically to curriculum and adapted for varying levels of English proficiency. Multiple sessions may culminate in an ensemble performance.

IMAGINE THAT! Goals:

• Strengthening concentration, listening and critical thinking skills
• Using the senses to gather information about the world
• Stretching the imagination
• Using the body and spoken language to communicate feelings, observations, and ideas
• Developing empathy
