About the Event
WHO WANTS DRAMA? Theater Skills for the Elementary and Middle School Classroom With the renewed focus on the engagement that the arts bring, The Arts at Riverside County Office of Education invites elementary and middle school teachers to learn some theater techniques and skills that make classrooms as vibrant and inviting as possible. No theater experience or extroverted personalities necessary! The primary objective of the workshop is to provide teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to introduce live theater and theater concepts to their K-6th grade students.
