DIGITAL EVENTS
Theater Exercises
Listen: The Hello Song
Last season, Two River Theater teaching artists conducted Spectrum Theater Residencies with four local organizations for students with Autism. The classes inspired Amanda Latham, Music Teacher/Therapist at The Harbor School, to compose this “Hello” song, which everyone sang at the start of each class in their residency!
Pantomime Pass
Explore your senses with Teaching Artist Maria Paduano, by channeling the actor’s process of using their props to tell a story! Warm up with a touch exploration of a room and everything in it, discovering it through a sense of touch. Then partner up for a passing game using your imagination.
Let's Take a Walk
Play a magical exploration game with Teaching Artist Amanda Butterbaugh, taking a walk through all sorts of incredible places without leaving your room. Can be played at any age, and with any number of friends. All you need is your imagination!
At Home Craft: Rainstick
Inspired by the “Let’s Take a Walk” theater exercise, Special Events Manager Katie Benson shows you how to create a rainstick to take along with you on a nice Spring walk.
Feeling Photos
Expand your actor’s toolkit through feelings, body language, and facial expressions with Teaching Artist Maria Paduano, and enjoy a little facial massage while you’re at it!
