SUMMERGGLASS: HIGH SCHOOL EDITION

We keep our Summerglass students moving as they take daily classes in physical theatre and acting! Mornings are dedicated to learning how to effectively tell stories through the art of physical theatre. Depending on the instructor, physical theatre skills may include tumbling, juggling, shadow puppetry, clowning, circus skills, and more! During afternoon classes, students develop their actors’ tools–body, mind and voice–as they create an original adaptation of a Lookingglass play. At the end of each session, students share their unique performance with friends and family live on our stage.

Summergglass: High School Edition meets Monday through Friday, from 9AM – 3PM. Our Summergglass staff includes two morning physical theatre teaching artists, one afternoon drama instructor, and one college intern. Over the course of the two week session, the Summergglass students – with the guidance and support of our staff – write, create, and perform an original adaptation of this summer’s story! If you would like to learn more about our daily routine, please see the sample schedule below!
