History Improv ~ Great Scientists!
Each week we will learn about a new Great Scientist in history. From George Washington Carver, Nikola Tesla to Marie Curie and more! Lessons will be taught in collaboration with the students and fun facts they bring in each week. We then bring in a theatrical spin to what we’ve learned and act out these historical figures and moments with improvisation games and character exploration living it on our feet and sometime rewriting history in the process. We then challenge the students to write a reflection of that day’s lesson & theatre enrichment which will be due the following week along with our next scientist’s five fun facts. Our students need no previous experience in theatre or history to enjoy this program. We take all levels. It should be noted that history does have some mature content and while we will be very sensitive to this, our suggested age range for the class should be taken into consideration. Please let us know if you have questions, concerns or need to discuss.
