This program is sold out. To be added to the waitlist please email wfted@bu.edu Get ready to enter magical and mystical realms where anything you can imagine is possible. Each week students will discover imaginary worlds as they travel through fiction’s most awesome stories, all while never leaving the classroom. Students will use their actor’s tools (body, mind, voice, and imagination) to create dynamic characters in the most fantastical and mysterious of places, even an imaginary world of their own making! Through theatre and hands on visual art experiences students will bring these stories to life. A final demonstration for family and friends will take place on the last day of class.

Limited space available!!! Inspired by the most dastardly (and delightful) Musical Theatre villains, students will have great fun bringing those characters to life who are “rotten to the core”. They will learn to “sing a story” by exploring the various voices that can be produced by using the appropriate vocal technique. Students will connect the voice to posture, gesture, and full-body movement through improvisation to create vivid characters. They will “dance a story” by learning to use creative movement to bring their storytelling to life. Not all actors need to dance, but learning how to use a creative and flexible range of movement will help young actors feel more confident on stage, develop physically interesting characters, and add another skill to their actor’s toolbox. A final demonstration for family and friends will take place on the last day of class.
