Winter 2025 Classes
|
|
Classes empower students to develop performance skills and gain confidence.
The Imagine curriculum has clear benchmarks for each class that act as guideposts for students, ensuring they are prepared to move on to the next level of courses. Our Teaching Artists pull from their own wealth of knowledge and experience, and utilize resources like Drama Notebook, to supplement the curriculum and meet the exact needs of our students.
We believe that students learn best through "doing". Because of this, Imagine Theatre emphasizes movement, projects, and active learning in all of our classes. While there is lecture time in every class, it is expected that it is kept to a minimum. Teaching Artists empower students to take ownership of their own learning through personalized lessons and in-class leadership opportunities.
Imagine Classes are for everyone! We actively accommodate the unique needs of each student, and work with families and our community to consistently refine classes and the class experience.
Classes are for those 7-18 years old, regardless of ability level. 7 year olds must have previously been in an Imagine Theatre Youth Camp to join classes.
