Another year, another exciting #ProjectSilverScreen session! Our students love this time of the year, and so should YOU! While our students are busy being captivated by our screenplays, entranced by the green screen, and primping for their close-up - they are also learning and experiencing so many of our #FUNdamentals! That's right - our movie-stars getting the red carpet treatment AND learning some valuable life lessons along the way!
CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM Our top priority has always been (and always will be!) to instill confidence in our students and boost their self-esteem! Nothing makes us happier than to see our Drama Kids happy and bursting with pride. Extroverts and introverts alike can find their niche in our program - especially during Project Silver Screen! The quietest wallflower, who may not view himself or herself as a "performer" yet, shines big and bright on our screen. Even our students who have not yet conquered their stage fright can feel completely at ease in front of our camera. Plus, our movie-making session gives our students opportunity for lots of one-on-one coaching and interaction with the teachers! This allows us to make them "picture perfect", and create a performance they can be proud of. At Drama Kids, all of our students are stars! SELF-ASSESSMENT We LOVE theatre! How could we not? We're Drama teachers! There is something truly magical about a live performance. It is a moment in time that can never be replicated exactly the same way, ever again! However, this is also the downfall of live theatre. Sometimes you wish you could just watch a performance again and again. Even when you're an actor in a play, sometimes you wish you could take a seat in the audience to see how you're doing - just for a second! Well, that is precisely is the beauty of Project Silver Screen! Our students have been working SO hard in class, and their performances have been phenomenal! With a movie, they don't just have to take our word for it. They can SEE how phenomenal they are! What a wonderful way for a child to see his or her own skills develop on the screen! They will finally see the fruit of all the character development, speech work, and movement activities in action. We guarantee that they will want to replay their movies again and again... and again! CREATIVE THINKING We always encourage creative thinking and imagination in our classrooms, and Project Silver Screen is no exception! The creative process is a vital skill that every child should learn, because it applies to much more than just the arts. Even our youngest Drama Kids get to play "screenwriter", and help develop the scripts we use for the final product! In Drama Kids everyone gets a say, and we encourage our future filmmakers to use creative problem solving and fine collaboration to write up a movie they can be proud of! Plus, each student gets to develop and discover their own zany characters along the way! Talk about creative free rein! So, while your Drama Kid is having multitudes of FUN, just remember... they are learning even more!
