*Class Descriptions:*

*Pre-school Classes (Ages 3-5):*

10:00am-11:00am



*Young Tale Spinners*

In this session, students will learn the story of Stella Luna, a young bat
who accidentally has a great adventure.  Through team exercises, creative
play, story exploration, and song, students will create their own version
of this story and build it into a special presentation for family and
friends.  Along the way, they learn confidence, verbal and non-verbal
communication skills, cooperation, self-awareness, and just plain have fun!
Each student receives a copy of the book, Stella Luna, to keep and share
with their parents, siblings, and friends!

*Instructor: Denise Astorino*

*Kids  (Ages 6-10); *

10:00am-1:00pm



*Ensemble Play Creation*

In this class, students create a story of their own making and explore
different ways in which to present it.  Over the eight-week period, student
collaboration and cooperation will refine and bring to life a presentation
wholly created and built by them, limited only by their imaginations.

*Instructor:* *Tania Benites*



*Body and Voice in Character*

Students use their bodies and voices to develop and define themselves and
bring acting and story-telling alive for an audience.  They learn how
verbal and non-verbal communication work can bring a story and a character
alive in different, colorful, and compatible ways.

*Instructor: Brittany Gaul*



*Acting through Mask and Puppet*

Students learn to take different characters and develop and find the magic
in them, learning puppeting and mask-work as alternative ways to bring
story-telling and play-making to their most imaginative height.

*Instructor: Carrie Williams*



*Early Teens (Ages 11-14):*

10:00am – 1:00pm



See above.



In this eight-week session, students will attend three separate, but
inter-related classes for young artists each day.  Working in support of
each other, the classes teach varying aspects of how to use the tools of a
theatre artist, and to celebrate the art of creation and sharing through
theatrical production.  From developing their own story, to finding their
own script, to filling it with imaginative and individual characters and
creatures of their own creation, all students will be involved in a
theatrical story-telling experience that culminates in a very special
presentation for family and friends.   Along the way, they will develop
confidence, a strong sense of self, communication skills, a willingness to
“think outside the box,” and experience the fullness of working as an
artistic team.

*ABOUT TALESPINNER CHILDREN'S THEATRE:* TCT is a Cleveland-based company
that develops and produces highly imaginative, original, collaborative and

boundaries to help awaken and bring better understanding by opening eyes,
ears, hearts and imaginations in the young people (and artists) of
Cleveland and its surrounds.

TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not
