THEATER Description
Mosaic uses theatre/drama to identify with students intrapersonal and interpersonal social emotions skills. We incorporate culturally responsive acting and ensemble building projects for family engagement events to display how emotions are shown and felt in one’s body as an individual and group. The theatre classes offered are to promote dramaturgy skills while valuing oneself, to promote teamwork, cooperation and provide opportunities for relationship developing skills and cultural social awareness to empower both boys and girls to express an array of potential hidden emotions. Students will be given theatrical tools to be expected to be able to participate in giving ideas and self-managing to bolster self-esteem and learn the values of others while being provided the opportunity for theatrical exposure with opportunities to promote parent and family participation.
