After School Opera Program
The COC runs after school programs in four different communities across Toronto to provide children with creative after-school activities. Each location runs a session one day each week from 4 to 6 p.m.
Program Leader engages children in grades 3 to 7 in dynamic activities, with an emphasis on music and drama. Each term includes a guest artist workshop. Past workshops have included costume design, mime, stage make-up, creative movement and stage combat.
Participants perform an original operatic work that is created by the program leader and is based on participants’ ideas and improvisations.
