Kids Drama Camp Teacher: Kalsom Wali

Kids’ Drama Camp presents the popular Norwegian tale of the “Three Billy Goats Gruff” who loved to eat tender green grass. When the grass was all gone, they thought they would cross over the rickety rackety bridge, because, well, the grass was greener on the other side. Who did they meet while crossing the bridge? None other than the voracious and mean troll! How did they reach their destination without being eaten by the troll? The benefits of performing arts are:

• Learning Empathy (respecting differences and embracing similarities)

• Building Confidence, Collaborative Skills and Self-Expression

• Social Emotional Skills

• Learning to Improvise

• Improving Communication Skills, Concentration, and Memory

Week 1: Campers listen to the story and become familiar with the characters, plot, and songs. They start to learn lines and get comfortable acting out a role.

Week 2: Campers receive a role to play, start memorizing lines and work together to set the stage.

Week 3: Campers start practicing from beginning to end with accompaniment by a pianist. Their performance on the last day will be recorded and shared.

Eton School's Statement on Diversity

We believe in the worth and dignity of all people.

We learn, reflect, grow, and effect change through dialogue, education, and action.

We foster a community that acts with compassion, embraces discomfort, thinks critically, questions norms, and welcomes the world’s multiple perspectives.

We use our voices, challenge ourselves and others, and stand up for ourselves and others against injustice.

We champion, cultivate, and celebrate all members of our community so that we all participate as our full authentic selves, and thereby become stronger in our shared diversity.
