OUTREACH WORKSHOPS
(Curriculum-Based, Theme-Based,
Theatre Arts, Cultural Arts)
Teachers—help is on the way! Fantasy Theatre Factory’s Outreach Workshops
combine artistic expertise with core-curriculum objectives, directly
incorporating Florida Sunshine State Standards. Our professional teaching
artists develop a creative arts environment where children explore,
discover, use imaginative play, and work together in the process. Topics of
workshops vary from Drama-across-the-Curriculum, Theme-Based, Basic Acting,
Vocal Techniques, Scene Study, Basics of Costume and Scenic Design, Circus
Skills, and more! FTF’s Education Department works with you to design and
implement an arts outreach workshop that meets your program’s needs.
Basic Categories of Program Options:
-
Drama-across-the-Curriculum (DAC):
using drama to teach curricular subjects such as Language Arts,
Mathematics, Science, Health and Wellness, Social Studies, or Character
Education. FTF currently has two successful Language Arts programs called
The Art of Reading and Reading with Expression, which utilize the energy,
excitement and motivational factors of theatre performances and workshops
and integrates them with reading for comprehension and expression. These
workshops provide a hands-on approach to learning by achieving academic
benchmarks through dramatic activities like improvisation, storytelling,
and tableau. DAC workshops directly incorporate Florida Sunshine State
Standards!
-
Theme-Based: FTF can conduct post-show
workshops exploring themes from the performance just seen. Get inside the
world of The Never Everglades, re-create the spine-tingling fun of Little
Monster Tales, or go on a reading adventure with Bananas, Books, and
Pancakes. Each workshop provides students with a backstage pass, question
and answer sessions with the actors, and the opportunity to become the actor
in activities based on the play. It’s a great way to connect learning with
the performance, enriching the student’s comprehensive experience.
Theatre Arts Workshops: Why not learn from
the pros? By surveying different aspects of performing arts from acting to
puppetry, our highly skilled teaching artists give the students a taste of
basic techniques necessary to perform. Students will be able to access the
tools of an actor, using their mind, body, and voice more effectively for
the stage and everyday tasks. Technical theatre workshops are also
available, and workshops can be tailored to match the developmental stage of
a variety of ages, from 4 years old to the college level.
Cultural Arts Workshops: Want to expose
young people to a variety of artistic forms? Cultural Arts workshops provide
a sampling of fine arts from theatre, dance, music, writing, visual arts,
and circus arts, creating an awareness of and appreciation for new forms of
expression. These workshops are excellent tools by which to stimulate
student interest in the arts in a safe, exploratory manner. Recommended
especially for “at-risk” students.
