Children will create stories and characters through theatre games that involve movement, improvisation and characterization.
They will also learn about stage makeup application and how to design and make a costume from DAC instructor Nancy Kelly and Kids’ Theatre Director Maggie Pangrazio. Participants will use fabric, paper, beads and buttons to bring characters to life and create props.
