Weird Village: Theatermaking (ages 9-12) with Karinne Keithley Syers
in the Work Room Theater - 33 Hawley Street, Northampton

Session 1: January 24 - March 29, 2022
Session 2: March 29 - June 6, 2022


***class will be limited to 10 dancers!
Masks and Social Distancing required!

This ongoing class uses collaborative, playful game structures to explore the elements of theater creation from as many angles as possible, including story, sound, song, image, object, voice and physicality. We will let curiosity lead us onward. We will practice deep listening – to ourselves, the space, and to each other – learning to find our place in a collaborative ensemble. Each session culminates in a collaboratively devised performance to share.
