Metro Theater Company began their first week of a nine week residency. Teaching artists ,Roxanne McWilliams and Renita James, will lead the children as they explore emotions with their body and voice, create characters through the use of puppets, and use movement and music to interpret a story. Today, children identified different parts of a song, practiced making space bubbles, moved their bodies in different ways to show tempo and movement quality, and used finger symbols to identify the cue to stop and go.
Metro Theater's residency in our classroom focuses on the music, movement, and dramatic play strand of our curriculum. Children respond to a variety of songs, finger plays and instruments as they discover different ways to use their voices and bodies. Children use their bodies to move expressively as they develop a sense for where their body is in space as well as in relation to others. Imaginative role-play provides children with the opportunity to accept, assign, and act out roles. Children may pretend to be someone or something different from himself or herself and dramatize situations and actions to go along with their chosen roles.
