(Enlivening written text through dance, drama and music)
With a focus on primary and intermediate, school-aged children, this workshop offers participants an
introduction to the Orff approach and its elemental processes. Using speech and rhythm activities as a starting point, we will go on to explore how singing, movement, simple drama conventions, visual art and instrument playing can be used as a springboard to creating artistic responses to a story.

Outline of Program: 

Session 1: Introduction to Orff process. Speech with beat and rhythm activities.
Session 2: Exploring story as a base for creative music making integrating music, drama and Visual art.
Session 3: Exploring story through movement.
