At Home/Technology Requirements
We will be surveying families to understand what devices each student has access to, and this information will allow us to tailor the programming to those specific devices. Yet while these programs do involve virtual learning and the use of technology, the programming also involves plenty of engagement in creative, tactile activities that take students off-screen. This fulfills two crucial components of theatre: seeing and doing – without which, true “theatre” does not exist. There are also opportunities for parent involvement. A parent/guardian will not need to be present during all activities, but parents will actually be able to see student process and the work that goes into creation, as opposed to only taking part in the finished product.
Week 1: Stop Motion
Session A: June 8-12/Session B: July 6-10
Students will learn the detailed art of stop motion, utilizing technology and materials found at home. The week will begin with an introduction to animation, developing the basic tools and culminating in a finished stop-motion short of students' own making.
Week 2: Radio Play
Session A: June 15-19/Session B: July 13-17
Students will develop a unique story and from there be instructed how to utilize the materials in their home to create the soundscape of their tale. This session is an introduction to Foley Artists, who provided the sound during old radio plays, as well as the movies of today.
Week 3: Newsroom
Session A: June 22-26/Session B: July 20-24
There is no shortage of news in our current climate, but we often forget about the voices of those who are smaller than us. Since students navigate this world each day just like everyone else, they will create their own bustling newsroom with stories that mean something to them personally. The session will include how to perform in front of a green screen and keep the energy of a cohesive news report, all achieved with technology from the comforts of students' own homes.
Week 4: Virtual Museum
Session A: June 29-July 3/Session B: July 27-31
With an introduction to photography, students will learn about composition, lighting, and story as they create their own gallery of moments captured through the eyes of another (photos taken from a bird's eye or a bug's eye view). The week will include an education about the ins and outs of curating an exhibit, which will culminate with the creation of a virtual tour of art from area museums.
