CLASSROOM WORKSHOPS AND RESIDENCIES The focus of the Griffin Theatre Company’s workshops and residencies are to introduce students to the creative process, the basics of theatre arts and can be designed specifically to augment and enhance a teacher’s classroom curriculum. Workshops begin with a collection of theatre games and exercises that encourage and enhance creative thinking, problem solving, spatial awareness, and trust. Such techniques help to create a group that is supportive, energetic, and focused. Workshops are designed to promote creative thinking, stimulate imagination, develop critical thinking skills, promote language development, heighten listening skills, foster group cooperation and peer respect, increase awareness and empathy of others, reinforce positive self-concept, and give students a fresh and innovative way to learn. The Griffin Theatre workshops and residencies are first and foremost designed to educate but, they are fun too. Workshops and residencies can be conducted in conjunction with Griffin Theatre performances or can be scheduled independently. One workshop can last anywhere from forty-five minutes to two hours. Residencies with teaching artists can last from two days to two weeks.
