ACTE, Annex Children’s Theatre in Education, offers fun, enriching theatre courses for young people, ages 6-15, that encourage and promote self-expression and social growth in small, supportive, age-appropriate classes. Courses include, acting techniques, improvisation, musical theatre, dance, set-building, film-making, and audition preparation. In addition to teaching theatre skills, ACTE fosters community building by involving family, friends and members from the arts community to help with theatrical productions. The students will have an opportunity to perform their plays for their schools and their community.
Drama Works
Many Studies have shown how the performing arts nurture skills that are useful in every aspect of learning and life. A recent article published in the Ontario College of Teachers’ magazine “Professionally Speaking”, (December 2003), described how after using drama in the classroom, teachers have noticed improvement in their students’ literacy and language comprehension. Teachers also noted that using drama can expand students’ understanding and tolerance of their world and keeps them in school.
