In-School Residency Program - Repertorio Español
Professional teaching artists lead these residencies. They are working playwrights and actors with previous teaching experience at all levels. In partnership with classroom teachers and school administrators, we create a series of sequential lessons designed to enhance classroom assignments as well as expand the students’ creativity and emotional expression. These lessons follow the New York City Blueprint for teaching the Performing Arts, the New York State Learning Standards and will address the new Common Core Curriculum.
Workshops are taught in English and/or Spanish, and often reach students who ordinarily would not have the opportunity to actively participate in theatre. This exposure builds on their literacy skills, critical and analytical thinking as well as their self-awareness, self-expression and overall creativity skills that can translate into other academic subjects and their personal lives.
Students will learn acting techniques and the craft of playwriting and are required to create fully developed original monologues, group scenes or an adaptation based on an established text. Long-term residencies have a culminating event at Repertorio, using our sound system, lights, costumes and props in front of an audience of their peers, teachers and parents.
