Nanaimo Young People's Theatre

Studio 8
Grades 1- 3
Formerly known as "Ready, Set.... Act!", in this class for 6-8 year olds, students play theatre games, and prepare short teacher-led plays for performance. The focus is on listening and team work, as well as exploring the conventions of theatrical performance such as the audience/performer relationship, stage directions, facing the audience, and the importance of staying "in character".
Studio 8 is a great introduction to the performing arts as well as excellent preparation for participation in more formal theatre practices (which typically start at age 9).
The class culminates in a short teacher-led performance in a theatre space for family and friends.
