classroom visits

The Berkeley Rep School of Theatre sends theatre professionals into the classroom to lead interactive workshops in which students develop an awareness and appreciation of theatre at a level they could not acquire elsewhere. Possible residency topics include Intro to Theatre, Acting, Improv, Shakespeare, Drama, Character Movement, Understanding Violence in Shakespearean and Stage Combat. In Fall 2004, the School introduced an exciting new program, Target® Story Builders, a story-building workshop for elementary school students. These workshops reinforce California Department of Education content standards in Theatre, including Artistic Perception, Creative Expression, Historical and Cultural Context and Aesthetic Valuing.
