Education: Illumination
Illumination is designed to engage local students in the world of theater and nurture their own artistic expression through student matinee performances, outreach in area schools, and our audience enrichment series of lectures and symposia. Student Matinees
Bring your students to enjoy performances that will enrich your classroom curriculum. Your reservation includes:
Q&A All students will be invited to a post-show talk with the actors and director, giving them the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the performance. Lesson Plans Lesson plans include playwright/play information, thought-provoking questions, context and themes, and additional materials designed to aid teachers in planning show-related classroom activities. Lesson plans meet national and state standards in Reading, Writing, Speaking, Language Arts, and Theater Arts. 2009/10 Student Matinee Schedule Upcoming student matinees will be announced shortly.
For more information, please contact George Sedgwick at 215.829.9002 x104 or gsedgwick@lanterntheater.org. Educational Workshops
Bring the theater to your classroom – or bring your classroom to us! Lantern teaching artists will lead your class in discussing the production process and acting out scenes, incorporating student ideas in discussions about symbols and other issues. Workshops, which can be tailored to fit your curriculum needs, include:
Acting and Directing Workshops Ideal for drama and theater classes Literature and Theater Workshops Ideal for classes that have read the play they are coming to see Speaking Shakespeare Workshops Ideal for students who may not be studying Shakespeare in class In-School Residencies
Lantern teaching artists visit your classroom for ten sessions to supplement your literature or drama program. A major goal of Illumination is to support the work of Philadelphia's teachers, and we work closely with teachers to design a program that best fits the classroom, scheduled classroom topics, and the personalities of students. This program is offered free of charge to Philadelphia public high schools with demonstrated financial need.
