This wacky and creative experience will lead children to create their very own play, inspired by nearby, found objects. Kids will form connections between everyday objects to create stories, and collaborate to produce and star in their own production. It will be recorded so students can keep a copy to share with parents, family, and friends.
Kids will be inducted into the artistic process, with games to loosen muscles and get children comfortable talking and sharing about themselves. They'll move on to storytelling about special items of theirs, and begin connecting objects and individuals in their telling of it.
Finally, Tonya will facilitate a brainstorming session to develop a list of "ingredients" for the stories from found objects located within the room. Improvisation exercises in combination with road mapping a story arc will land kids on center stage, ready to showcase their talents and tales!
