We
use this story to show how the queen made better choices by using her words
than the wizard, who tries to use force. This is our transition to
"The Four Steps to Non-Violent Communication" (adapted with permission from the Center for
Non-Violent Communication). This clever technique can be used by anyone to
express feelings and make a request in a respectful, productive way.
"TheaterMakers" now includes lesson plans for teachers to allow them easy steps to supporting the ideas raised in the show. With these, even after we've left the school, the message is still supported by your teachers at no additional cost. "TheaterMakers" is aligned with the newly adopted Visual and Performing Arts standards of the state of California. It ties in beautifully with various aspects of curriculum and the students are spellbound! |
"You guys are too funny!" we were told by a qualified nine-year-old theater critic.
"TheaterMakers
delivered a meaningful and child-friendly performance complete with
intrigue, comedy, music and interactive audience participation... ...our students of all ages learned how to tell a story using theater, theater terms, improvisation and conflict resolution strategies with the 'Four Magic Steps.' Weeks later, our students continued to refer to the 'Four Magic Steps' to communicate with each other and resolve potentially problematic situations. " -- Krista Hahn, psychologist, Creekside Elementary School in Poway, Calif. |
