Welcome to Empower Arts! We’re thrilled to have you join our drama classes, where creativity, fun, and personal growth come together in a vibrant and supportive environment. Whether your child is stepping into the world of drama for the first time or has some experience, our classes offer a unique blend of activities designed to make every student feel welcome and excited. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare for their first class.
What to Expect in Your First Empower Arts Drama Class
Warm Welcome Upon arrival, each child is warmly welcomed by an Empower Arts teacher. This initial greeting helps set a positive tone for the class and ensures that every child feels comfortable and excited to start their drama journey.
Comfortable Parent Involvement We understand that starting something new can be a bit daunting, so we provide a space for parents to stay nearby in a room next door. This ensures that both children and parents feel comfortable, knowing that support is close at hand.
Welcoming Nervous Students For children who might feel nervous about starting a new class, we use a buddy system. New students are paired with another child who has been attending our classes. This helps new students feel welcomed and supported, making their introduction to drama more enjoyable and less intimidating.
Circle Time: Sharing and Connecting We begin the class by gathering all the children in a circle. Each child introduces themselves and shares what they did during the week. This activity helps build a sense of community and allows children to connect with each other, fostering a supportive and friendly environment.
Exploring Characters and Stories Our drama activities include exploring different characters and stories. Kids will dive into exciting roles, from superheroes to magical creatures, using their imagination to bring characters to life. This exploration helps them understand how to express emotions and develop their creative thinking.
Exploring Speech and Expression We focus on developing speech and expression by teaching children how to deliver a single line of dialogue in various ways. For those who feel brave, there’s the opportunity to come to the front and perform the line on their own. This exercise builds confidence and encourages kids to experiment with their voice and emotions.
Fun and Engaging Games The class ends with more fun games tailored to different age groups. Younger children enjoy interactive games that reinforce the day’s lessons, along with stickers ensuring that they leave with smiles on their faces. For older children, we introduce more complex activities like improvisation challenges and scene work exercises, encouraging them to delve deeper into their acting skills and creative expression.
How to Prepare for Your Empower Arts Drama Class
Bring Excitement and Curiosity Encourage your child to approach the class with enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things. A positive attitude will help them make the most of their drama experience and have a great time.
Wear Comfortable Clothing Choose comfortable clothes that allow for easy movement, such as leggings or a t-shirt. Our activities involve a lot of movement, so being comfortable is important.
Engage Imagination at Home Before the class starts, help your child engage their imagination. They might enjoy creating their own characters or thinking up exciting scenarios. This will make it easier for them to jump into the imaginative world of drama when they arrive at Empower Arts.
Encourage Friendliness and Openness Drama class is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and make friends. Encourage your child to be friendly and open, as working together with others can make the experience even more enjoyable.
Stay Hydrated and Bring a Snack Remind your child to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the class. Additionally, packing a healthy snack can help keep their energy levels up, especially during longer sessions or if they’re participating in more complex activities.
