Schools often receive 50-75% funding for residencies from Alberta Foundation for the Arts.<\/p> <\/td><\/tr>

Language Arts Improvisation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The teachers who attended our sessions at a number of Alberta Teacher’s Conventions asked that these fun games and exercises be brought together as a residency! So here it is!<\/p>

Language Arts Improvisation Residency is a fun, introduction to acting and improvisation. Each class gets 5-6 sessions. Each session has been designed to enhance the language arts curriculum, allowing students to practice listening comprehension, storytelling, and presentation skills in a fun, non-threatening atmosphere. How do I find and fill in the holes in my story? How do I take my story from interesting to entertaining? What’s my character thinking? Am I good at telling my story in sequence?  These skills are taught through theatre games that are hand picked or created by us!  This residency ends with a school-wide Improv Festival where laughter fills the hallways and parents have a blast joining in the fun!<\/span><\/p>

Literacy on Stage<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

This exciting residency takes students through the same process that professional playwrights go through when work-shopping their plays. Students are introduced to ways of creating characters and dialogue through the use of improvisation. Grades 4 – 9 work with student written stories or hand-picked storybooks. Grade 3 work with popular children’s stories. Grades K – 2 act out a different story every session. Reading and writing is fun when you combine it with theatre! The journey from the page to the stage is a fabulous learning experience for both students and teachers. This residency ends with older students performing their very own mini-plays for younger grades and parents. Schools often receive 50-75% funding for residencies from Alberta Foundation for the Arts.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n
