ART OF READING RESIDENCY

This innovative workshop was originally created in March 2000 for the Broward County School System and was so incredibly successful that we now offer it statewide! The Art of Reading Residency is guaranteed to motivate, reach, and teach students about the reading process.

Day One
The entire school sees performances of one of Fantasy Theatre Factory’s reading literacy programs: Bananas, Books, and Pancakes, Little Monster Tales, or Stories from America’s Backyard. Each performance is followed by a question and answer session with the cast and FTF artist-educator.

Day Two
Up to five workshops (one hour in length) with individual 4th or 5th grade classes. Students interact with two Fantasy Theatre Factory artist-educators. Artists will lead students through reading for expression, movement, and vocal exercises. Students will also discuss the books covered in the play, the authors, and begin to rehearse and prepare play readings from the program. Students are given selections from the show to practice on their own.

Day Three
Fantasy Theatre Factory artists return for a full day to give final “reading for expression” coaching in classroom and to videotape may student performances!
