Paddy Lynn Workshops

I have a variety of workshops for children of all ages. Here are a few to choose from.  Please contact me for specifics.

Storyacting Workshop

Storyacting Workshops allow the participants to engage in acting out stories multiple times. Stories can be selected by the group, or we can choose appropriate ones based on age. With some handy props, a trunk of colorful costume pieces, and a whole lot of imagination, the children engage in the story drama. This activity can be done in a classroom, multi-purpose room, a gym, or practically any open area.

Multicultural Storyacting Workshop

In this workshop we focus on stories from different cultures. We use the story as a launching pad to act out the main highlights in a group setting. Incorporating a bit of creative drama techniques and improvisation, all the participants get many opportunities to "try on" characters and become a part of the experience.

Drama Daze

This workshop is a wonderful way to introduce children to the wonders of theatre. Using creative drama, basic acting techniques, and improvisation, the children explore their own creativity and uniqueness. Theatre games are played in large groups, small groups, and individually. Whether the child has had acting experience or is a "first-timer" to acting, the benefits are great.

Funny Bones

This workshop explores the comedy in all of us. Using theatre games, improvisation, and some tips from some of the best comedians in the business, children develop their own sense of humor. Beware, this one causes loads of laughs!

Spoofy Story Theatre

This is a more intensive workshop that requires more time. Working in small groups, children begin by writing their own "spoofy story" based on a recognizable book. Through improvisation, they explore the story and make necessary changes to best present it. Using some simple costumes, props, and set pieces, the stories are acted out and critiqued. Please contact me to discuss some options for this.

Storyacting Workshops based on a theme.  I have workshops based on the following stories:

FAIRIES

All of these workshops can be done in large groups and play beautifully for Daddy – Daughter events, church groups, scout groups, intergenerational functions, or any event that wants to focus on using the imagination.
