Pom Theatricals —a new all-around arts education experience
POM THEATRICALs
led by Mary Yaw McMullen & Anne Cornell
The Pomerene Center for the Arts is introducing POM THEATRICALs —a new, all-around arts education experience for children K-3 and 4-8. POM THEATRICALs is designed to encourage a broad range of creative expression through the exploration of drama, writing, movement, visual arts and music. It’s a collaborative effort calling on all creative skills. Check out our POM THEATRICALs playdate for preschoolers.
Little POM THEATRICALs – monkey in the cold rain
Grades K-3, (limit 8 children) $40
9:30 to 10:30am, Saturdays Jan 14-Feb. 18
Young POM THEATRICALs – empty bowl
Grades 4-8, $40
11:00am to noon, Saturdays Jan 14-Feb. 18
Children will work together in small groups to create very short dramatic pieces using a somewhat inside-out process. Starting with a few written words about a monkey in the rain (grades k-3) and an empty bowl (grades 4-8), children will
- experiment with sound to create the right mood (musical score)
- imagine and build a space to step into (architecture)
- develop the environment with props, scenery, costumes and light (visual arts)
- move into the created space—ACTION!” (movement and drama)
At the end of the session they’ll perform for friends and family. The Pomerene Center offers need-based scholarships. Please ask.
