Bainbridge Performing Arts Theatre School enrollment for spring classes is now open for pupils of all ages.
Under the insightful tutelage of Kate Drummond, students (ages 4–7) in “Creative Drama” will explore the elements of theatre and learn to use their faces, bodies, and voices to tell a story. She will also lead students (ages 6–8) as they learn two song-and-dance numbers and engage in goofy, imaginative skill-building theatre games in “Introduction to Musical Theatre.”
Class offerings for students ages 8–10 and ages 11–14 delve into “The Mysteries of Harris Burdick” and culminate in the Spring Send-Off on May 30 and May 31.
Led by instructor Katharine Beddoe, students in the younger class will devise their own stories for the stage based on the mysteries surrounding Burdick’s artwork. With oversight by Patrick Hurlburt, students in the older class will tackle three scripts by Miranda Ray based on Burdick’s art that culminate in multiple possible endings.
The spring curriculum also offers a duo of spring Teen Lab workshops: “Acting for the Camera” with Amanda Yeoman Brooke, a six-week class for ages 12–19 that will focus on acting for the camera with a polished scene for each student’s acting reel; and “Introduction to Playwriting” with Catherine Rush, a six-week class for ages 12–19 that covers the essentials of good dramatic writing, from structure to strong characters and more.
