Theater Magic

Theater Magic

For 10 - 16 yrs  - 6th to 24th April - three wekks
For 6 - 9 yrs  - 13th to 24th April - two weeks

 

Confidence, creative thinking, expression skills and fun are important benefits of theater.
To make this happen - the key ingredients of Theater Magic are - innovative, interactive and spontaneous form of expressions.

The 6-9yrs - go through a two week program exploring theater through multiple exercises based on body, team work and expression - ending with a show.

The 10-16yrs - go through a more intensive three week prog - based on an exciting form of theater called Play Back theater.
In Theater Magic - Each child is the HERO, each child own director and each child explores and expands own capability to think.

Theater Magic essentially is a process of extremely enjoyable activities and exercises that build strengths from inside - great to build self and social skills and confidence.
The key obviously is the process - and not the show. In fact the show is just an end – for us the child going on the stage is not important – but the child is himself a stage – a constant presentation of ideas, thoughts, innovation and emotions.
Layered set of activities – over the weeks of the program - build on making the child explore the inside (beliefs, thoughts and feelings) and invites them to present these via multiple forms – like expressions, body-posture, props, actions, interactions with team members and finally spoken words, songs, music et al.
Children essentially are constantly exploring both their thoughts as well as various ways of expressing it. The various games, activities and exercises – which are loads of fun – essentially make the children do the following:
1.      Become aware of own feelings, body, actions and thoughts.
2.      Become aware of others feelings and actions.
3.      Think differently – generate multiple perspectives. See situations, things, people and even oneself differently.
4.      Work as a team: perceive, understand, respond, build and enjoy together.

Arti & Amrutha’s views on Theatre Magic (APRIL 13, 2007)

Everybody knows how to act but here at genie kids they help refine our acting skills. Activities are conducted to help modulate our voices, to enhance team work and character building. During this session we learn to imitate in different ways. We also practice various forms of posture, walks, expression and emotion. Thus, we learn the process of entertaining. Theatre magic is loads of fun and we cannot think 
another better way to spend our summer.
