The Ogress and the Fig Tree: Folktales into Theater for Kids (Session 2)
August 23, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm CDT
Event Navigation
This summer join theater artists Taous and Mohammed in creating a play with props and costumes at the East Side Freedom Library, at 1105 Greenbrier Street. We will play games, invent goofy characters and use our imaginations to tell a story that might have an ogress or giant frog or a timid lion! Food will be served at the end of each session. The first session is August 12-16, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The second session is August 19-23, 2 to 5 p.m.
Young people aged 7-12 can come to the East Side Freedom Library this summer to:
- Explore folktales from immigrant communities present in Minnesota in an artistic theatrical setting
- Collaborate as an ensemble on making a play based on a folktale
- Use the tools of an actor (body, voice, imagination, concentration and collaboration) in order to express a character’s thoughts and feelings
- SNACKS PROVIDED!
