The
CCT Fall 2006 Academy Class Schedule |
|
Welcome to CCT’s Fall 2007
Academy! We have so many delightful classes on this page you won’t know what to
pick first! We’re offering classes in our two
central locations,
as well as
Pickerington,
Dublin
and
Grove City
satellite
locations, and as usual, our Fall quarter is divided into two sessions of 5
Saturdays each!
As the 2006 CCT Summer Academy comes
to a close and the time for school draws near, don’t forget that your artistic
adventure doesn’t have to end with summer! We offer year-round classes tailored
to meet the needs of various age groups and interests. Our goal is to encourage
your child to explore his or her individual talent while promoting teamwork and
building confidence. Our teaching staff is comprised of professional artists and
instructors who utilize numerous theatre games, teaching techniques, and
creative direction in order to produce a learning environment that is not only
fun, but educational! If your children love making friends and have a flair for
the dramatic, this may be the place for them!
CCT Academy classes help build
self-confidence, imaginative and independent thinking, teamwork skills, and an
appreciation of the finer things—all valuable tools which will positively impact
your child’s development . We believe in tapping in to a young person’s natural
creative abilities, and focusing them toward a common goal of excellence. Our
teaching artists are the best in the city, and are expert in drawing out the shy
child as well as redirecting the energies of the “drama queen”. We invite you to
look over our many class offerings and select the ones which best fit your
youngster’s interests and schedule.
If you have any questions or comments about the programming at CCT, please
call me at
614-224-6673, or email me at
ccteddirector@sbcglobal.net.

| Do
your classes require previous experience? |
|
Unless otherwise noted in the class description,
our classes are open to all. Our mission is to provide quality instruction and
inspiration to a new generation of theatre artists and theatre enthusiasts.
If your child has the desire to be in our classes, that’s what’s important to
us.
|
 |
| Do
parents stay at classes? |
|
On the first day of class, many of our
teachers give a brief welcome and announcement to all parents. (You should plan
on coming in to the classroom to introduce yourself and sign in your child.)
For our youngest students, parents may then stay if their child needs them to
stay in the room After the first day, we find children to better when the parent
leaves.

 |
| What
is “Creative Drama”? |
|
Like improv classes, creative drama unleashes
the power of play and play-making. The games that we use in these classes help
teach theatre terms and skills. Our students learn to appreciate theatre, and,
ultimately, they discover the magic of creating drama. Within the theme of the
various classes, students learn how to use their bodies, voices and imaginations
to develop characters and stories for the stage. Creative Drama work enhances
self-esteem, creativity and problem-solving activities. The last day of class
includes a sharing day for family and friends.
Creative Drama classes require no experience
and may be repeated many times.
|
 |
| Does
my child get to perform? |
|
On the final day of most classes, the
students and their families gather for a “sharing day.” This final performance
is informal, and is meant to celebrate what the students have learned in the
class. We don’t emphasize “special effects” in this performance: we encourage
students to create their own costumes rather than spend any money. Please note
that some classes for older students opt not to have a sharing day, and use
all of their class time honing their skills.
