About This Activity
Period C: Improv and Dramatic Interpretation Performance Improv is a great way to practice public speaking while building confidence in yourself and your presence. Improv teaches you how to create stories and scenes and perform them without a script. In this class, you will have fun getting creative and getting comfortable being yourself while speaking in front of others. You'll learn the fundamentals of storytelling and and keeping audience engagement. This will all be done in a safe team oriented environment. In this class we’ll also work on Dramatic Interpretation pieces, which are short pieces taking from plays, short stories or other works that spotlight your ability to convey emotion through the text. We’ll practice our acting skills and gain confidence through Dramatic Interpretation, which is an common area to compete in Speech and Debate tournaments as well.

Period D: Basketball Skillz Build your fundamental basketball skills in lay-ups, three point shooting, dribbling, and more while having fun with friends and making new ones.
