Throughout this residency, students will engage in a creative process that combines theatrical skill-building and collaborative storytelling. Each day, students will participate in social-emotional learning activities, theater games, vocal exercises, movement exploration, and script analysis. Students will work together to reimagine and create their own version of The Wizard of Oz story, allowing them to take ownership of the creative process while learning fundamental theater concepts.
The program will culminate with a final showcase on Wednesday, April 16th for 4th and 5th-grade families, showcasing selected songs, dances, and student-created scenes that have been rehearsed over the course of the residency. Students will present their adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, featuring original elements they've devised as an ensemble.
