Four Rivers Cultural Center is launching it’s Young Performers Program for grades 1-8.

We invite school-aged youth 1st-8th grade to join us every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-5pm to explore different aspects of the performing arts. Each quarter will focus on building self-esteem, teamwork, critical thinking and more. Performing arts fosters creative enrichment, storytelling, acting, and stagecraft. The instructor is a retired actress with many years of experience working with kids.

Young Performers is for grades 1-8. 

At the Four Rivers Cultural Center and Museum we believe in helping kids reach their fullest potential by helping them build connections within the community and equipping them with new skills to carry into their day to day lives.

About the class:  Usually a class starts with 10-15 minutes of warm up and focusing tools encouraging a focus routine useful for home and school. Then 45 minutes of movement/focus/character work in short exercises usually with music where students learn a sort of creative shorthand.

This class is a very positive and gentle learning environment. Everyone feels more creative in a safe space, this class aims to meet kids where they are and let them feel comfortable growing into new skills.

 

Class is limited to 25 kids!
