Elementary SPA

Elementary SPA (grades K-5) is a two-week exploratory workshop full of activities such as creative dramatics exercises and theatre games. Students develop characters, create plays, and perform for each other on a daily basis. Also, on the last day there is a student-prepared public performance. 

 

Middle School SPA

Middle School SPA (grades 6-7) is a four-week session focusing on drama, dance, and music. The focus of this program is process rather than product, so emphasis is placed on training. The end performance is a show and tell of what they have learned throughout the session. 

 

High School SPA

High School SPA (grades 8-11) runs for two months, and hours of participation can vary greatly depending on the level of involvement. Students participate in the process of creating full-scale musical productions, either on stage as performers or backstage as part of the Technical Team. Students can receive summer school elective Fine Arts credits for participation.

 

MySPA
