The Words in Our Head: Rewiring the Brain Through Fun and Connection
February 13, 2025
Afterschool Classes
The majority of these classes are held at your student’s school immediately after the final bell rings.
Know someone who you think has undiscovered improvisation talents or could benefit from practicing spontaneity and presentation skills while having fun?
KidScape Productions offers students ages 3-18 the opportunity to explore hidden talents, improve communication skills and ignite their imaginations.
Students will start their journey with complete foundation in the principles of scenic improvisation as practiced by professional actors around the world; Curriculum created at Juilliard in New York City and Yale School of Drama. This high energy after school program runs one hour each week and will cover elements of the improvisational process. Strong emphasis on developing theatrical and comedic skills, stage directions and movement through a week of nonstop laughter and fun.
All classes will end with a free impromptu show where parents and the community are encouraged to attend. New performance games will be presented each session, no experience necessary and repeat students are encouraged to attend as “Repetition creates mastery.” Single day registrations are okay.
In-class Field Trips
Our in-class field trips are aligned with State Educational Standards and integrated into the student’s school day.
