Students explored movement, voice and imagination through the Young Actors Project, guided by visiting drama educators. They acted out scenes, turned chairs into boats or stages, and discovered how everyday objects could spark storytelling. Each activity invited them to try new ideas and immerse themselves fully in the creative challenges of the classroom.
“I liked to learn about body motion, and I liked to say every feeling, like happy, sad, angry, sleepy, brave, surprised and tired,” one reflection noted. Another said, “I enjoyed pretending to be on a beach and acting out emotions.” These reflections showed how learners experimented with characters, emotions and scenarios in a supportive environment.
Through the program, students strengthened communication, focus, problem-solving and self-expression, learned to take creative risks, and enjoyed the fun of creating and performing together.
