“…one student had never spoken until our program. You can make a difference by combining theatre & education.” — Alison Shetter
Take a dramatic approach to your subjects with our innovative Dramatic Learning™ program. Tailored to enrich or supplement the basic curricula for any grade level, we apply the dramatic arts in an interactive way. Contact us at 303.893.6006 to schedule Dramatic Learning™ for your school.
Dramatic Learning™ is designed to meet Colorado Model Content Standards. Sessions may be held in your classroom or off-site in our educational facility and include an overview, warm-up and clean-up time. Costs cover 30 participants (though more students may participate for an additional fee) and a certified teacher. Dramatic Learning™:
- integrates the arts into your curriculum through active student involvement
- helps students discover principles in math, science, social studies, language arts and health
- shows your students how the arts express a wide range of human experiences and encourages them to make connections to their own cultural heritages
- incorporates problem solving, critical and imaginative thinking while applying to multiple learning styles
