BACKSTORY THEATRE

Make Believe & Beyond is the reimagining of a story, or collection of stories, told on stage. For 3-5 graders - Students dive into the aspects of what makes a story, then apply those literacy skills towards creating their own story inspired by the given theme, story, folk or fairy tale. Then with the help of a narrator these students perform their 10-20 minute play on stage.

Make Believe & Beyond (MBB) is the reimagining of a story, or collection of stories, told on stage, often with the help of a narrator. At BackStory, we use the Make Believe & Beyond model which embraces actor's unique storytelling abilities, building confidence and encouraging skill acquisition.

In this class, students will learn about and engage in improvisational scene work. We will focus on the elements of collaborative listening, movement, and character work. Your students will build and hone their skills for performance, confidence, teamwork, and learning skills such as active listening, working memory, and creative collaboration!
