| theatre@rocky presents... Theatre For Young Audiences Workshop This workshop will give a performance-based overview of various theatrical styles found in TYA. Students will learn how to adapt existing stories into plays as well as learn how to create plays for specific ages, i.e. the five-year-old audience versed the fifteen-year-old audience. They will explore challenges such as issue-based or curriculum-based plays, which will be followed by a discussion on the merits of education verses art and if the two can be unified. During the day, students will create short performance pieces using various theatrical styles such as physical theatre, mask, clown, shadow, foley, puppetry, object theatre and story telling.
