Jubilee Theatre proudly announces a long-awaited return of its Arts Education program with their Virtual Storytelling and Puppet Theatre Camp. This cross-disciplinary camp will provide a one week learning opportunity for children in grades 1-6.
After several years, Jubilee Theatre is proud to resume their arts education component. Beginning August 3, 2020 Jubilee theatre will be hosting its Virtual Storytelling and Puppet Theatre Camp. First through sixth grade children are invited to join us as we celebrate this time honored pastime.
Students will be exposed to two literary works during each week-long session. They will complete two arts and crafts projects and will be encouraged to perform in the student showcase at the end of the week.
They will perform scenes from the books with puppets and display their arts projects as well as express an individualized work based on the past week’s teachings; this piece could be a song, a poem, a drawing, or a 30-second kinetic piece.
This summer multi-disciplinary workshop is designed to reinforce the fun in literature as well as enhance STEAM learning. Artistic Director D. Wambui Richardson states, “We want the students to get excited about reading! With the camp actively engaging them on multiple levels, they will come out with a new love of reading and theatre. Other important skills taught by this program include listening, giving and receiving feedback, and working within a group. We are very excited to engage with the youth in our community after a long absence! This program touches upon all the learning audibles needed for lifelong success.” Richardson concludes.
The program will take place over three separate one-week learning sessions, separated by rising grade level. Registration for this engaging experience is $95 per student enrolled. Hurry to register as space is limited.
