An Entanglement of Songs
Our boy recently attended the “An Entanglement of Songs” workshop. In this musical workshop, children will have the opportunity to sing to familiar tunes as they recreate the story of Charlotte’s Web, and learn how to express themselves through movement and song.
This is a 3 hours drop-off musical workshop, where your child will learn how to work together with other children and create an ensemble to express themselves through movement and song in order to tell a story.
About 30 minutes before the workshop ends, parents are invited back to the class where the children will do a presentation.
The workshop has a strong focus in music, singing and complete physicality of the body that children will get to explore their body movements and learn more about how to express themselves. At the end of the workshop, all children will receive a certificate for successfully completed the workshop.
Thank you to our lovely Act 3 Drama Educator’s Yew Jia for the lively and enjoyable workshop!
