Story+Theatre


 * Story Theatre**

Story theatre is a technique for telling stories in dramatic format. A narrator may tell the story, with other students acting it out through the use of dialogue or mime, or the various characters may also provide the narration. Story theatre provides a variety of experiences, such as reading the play, assuming roles, memorizing lines, creating costumes and sets, practising music and choreography, and performing before an audience. Story theatre develops cognitive skills through organization of thoughts and analysis of the parts and whole of the production, including rehearsal and performance. It provides a collaborative experience for students as they work with others towards a common goal.
