Tell Me a Story: Writing and Theater – Walker’s All For Girls Summer Academy Recently Updated

Students will learn the fundamentals of both personal writing and performance. We will investigate both written and performed work as part of our process of creation. By the end of this course, students will have an original monologue written and performed! They will learn how to be confident in their own words and how to make bold choices in their performances. The skills they build will help them be more creative, better public speakers, and more empowered to share their own voices.
