Summer 2013 Youth Programs in the Arts:
Young Bards

Grades 2–8

Typical Day

Young Bards is an introduction to acting through the production of Shakespeare’s masterpieces and an adventurous two weeks of creative play, imagination, and fantasy. Students will explore the fun of Shakespeare’s language and story themes through theatre games, role-playing, storytelling, music, dance, and swashbuckling! The session ends with a performance for family and friends in which every Young Bard will have a role! Students are grouped by grade and classes are taught using the framework of the Bard’s own writings.

To broaden skills and exposure to the arts, Young Bards can be combined with Young Video Game Creators and Animators (new!), Young Artists, Young Chess Masters (new!), Creating Comic Books, Youth Musical Theatre, Young Actors, Young Photographers, Young Writers, the Songwriting Workshop, and/or Creative Vocal Lab to make for a well-rounded summer experience.
