About

WorldBuilders: Space Adventures

This spring, explore the mysteries of outer space, building stories from astronauts and astronomers and ourselves. Each week, we’ll gain new storytelling skills, build original characters, and create movement that includes spacewalks, rocket launches and interstellar travel. Students will work with professional artists bringing ideas from Filament’s next season into the theater as we all start to think about the parallels of life on and off planet earth.
 
By the end of class, we’ll be ready to share an original performance with family and friends faster than you can say 3-2-1-Blast-Off! 
 
Throughout the class professional artists working on these Filament premieres will stop by to share bits of the stories they are working on, and by the end of class we’ll be ready to share our own stories and characters with all the family and friends we can find!
 
Skills will build upon those developed in previous Filament camps and classes, but prior participation is not required.

About Filament's Education Programs:

Filament’s education programs focus on amplifying the creativity of the young participants. With Filament there are no scripts and no assigned roles–each participant creates their own dream role. Through drama and creative play, Filament’s experienced teaching artists support everyone in creating their own dialogue, characters, stories, costumes, and sometimes their own play.

“My three children are having a blast. I’m so glad we discovered your theater company.”

About Escape from Reality:

What if you could escape the real world for an hour and experience a different reality? Join Filament for a look at the ingredients that make our favorite games so special. Create fantasy worlds, invent characters, develop storylines, and write rules as you design an imaginary board game or video game. Then, bring your game to life for a special performance–everyone will be invited to play along!

About Tales From the Forest:

Using classic fairy tales as inspiration, we will work together to create NEW tales filled with villains, members of royalty, and plenty of sidekick woodland creatures! This class will encourage students to use their bodies, voices, and imaginations to collaborate on wacky original stories that celebrate nature!
