Mercer County Institute for the Arts Drama Program for Students Ages 4 to 6: Wednesdays, April 9 to May 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. First session will meet at Lawrenceville Library, with remaining sessions to be held at the Mercer Elementary School in Trenton. This 8-week program will have children acting, moving, drawing, communicating, and telling stories. Each week a book will be used as the springboard for the par¬ticipants' imaginations. The children will be roaring like lions, hopping like frogs, slithering like snakes, exploring like detectives, "flying" like super heroes, and gig¬gling like kids! Interwoven into this fun will be verbal and physical communication skills, self esteem building activities, and games to stretch the imagination. Acting Program for Students Ages 7 to 10: Thursdays, April 10 to May 29 from 4 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. First session will meet at Lawrenceville Library, with remaining sessions to be held at the Mercer Elementary School in Trenton. Over the course of this eight week session, students will gain acting skills through the use of theatre games, improvisation, and story dramatization. The artists will take complex theatre techniques and break them down into smaller pieces, al¬lowing students to focus on one aspect at a time. Through repetition and by ap¬proaching each technique from many angles, including visual arts activities and movement exercises, students will take what they learn and create scenes to share with family members the last class.
