Student Workshops


Bring a fun, engaging Teaching Artist into your classroom! Workshops can be tailored to your needs and held in a variety of settings.


A Play in a Day
These 4-hour workshops are led by ASC teaching artists in the classroom. Teachers can choose to take part or enjoy watching their students participate. First students enjoy a story (connected to the classroom curriculum) told by the teaching artist, then students get on their feet to warm-up with fun drama activities. The group works together to stage and perform the story. Watch your students transform into focused young actors in just a few short hours!

Storytelling
Any stories we bring to your school can be focused on a theme or connected to the curriculum.

Storytelling Performance: Bring one of ASC’s many talented storytellers to your school. Our storytellers are able to perform fables, folktales, fairytales, personal narratives, and more to fit the style of your event. Students will be invited to participate in the storytelling through moments of chanting, motions they can do from their seats, or even asking the students for suggestions to guide a story! A Storytelling Performance can be shared with multiple age groups for 20-60 minutes.

Storytelling Workshop: Go one step further into storytelling by letting the students become the storytellers! Storytelling will be modeled by an experience storyteller before students participate in an interactive story and then go on to create their own original story. This workshop is best for ages 8+ for 45-90 minutes.

Theatre Arts
Expose your students to the multidisciplinary world of theatre through one of our fun, hands-on Theatre Arts Workshops. Topics include:
  • puppet making/performance
  • musical theatre movement
  • mask making/performance
  • playwriting
  • acting
If there is a topic you’d like us to address, just ask and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Each workshop can range from 1-3 hours and all materials are included.

Life Skills
We know that there are many topics outside of academics that are important to explore with students to ensure that they are well-rounded future citizens. These workshops are geared toward the Social and Emotional skills that too often are overlooked. Theater is a wonderful tool for helping students share their perspectives, challenge viewpoints, negotiate compromise and celebrate their classmates and themselves. Topics Include:
  • Diversity
  • Bullying
  • Identity
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Ensemble/Team Building
Each workshop can range from 1-3 hours and all materials are included.

Whether it’s Freshman Connections or a group of new Middle School students, let ASC help you provide orientation sessions. Students will explore team building, communication and conflict resolution skills in a creative environment. Each workshop can range from 1-3 hours and all materials are included.
