Throughout this residency, students will engage in a creative process that combines theatrical skill-building and collaborative storytelling. Each day, students will participate in social-emotional learning activities, theater games, vocal exercises, movement exploration, and script analysis. Students will work together to reimagine and create their own version of Finding Nemo Jr., allowing them to take ownership of the creative process while learning fundamental theater concepts.
The program will culminate in a final showcase for 6th-grade families on Wednesday, May 6th, at 9:30 am, featuring selected songs, dances, and student-created scenes rehearsed throughout the residency. Students will present their adaptation of Finding Nemo Jr., featuring original elements they've devised as an ensemble.
This partnership is an incredible opportunity to ensure our students receive a well-rounded arts education experience that supports their academic growth. We are thrilled to extend this residency to the 6th-grade after the success of their Wizard of Oz production with Skyline Children's Theater last year.
Thank you to the Jahn Arts Council for setting up this partnership in collaboration with Friends of Jahn. Thank you to Mr. Albo for his support!
Excited to take the stage!
