Welcome to Creative Reuse!
This class invites young artists to explore art and theatre in an innovative and environmentally mindful way. Through hands-on classes, students will create and design using a wide variety of repurposed materials, patterns, and manipulatives. Using everyday items such as cardboard, fabric scraps, recycled objects, and textured materials, students will:
-Design costumes, props, and sets
-Develop original characters and stories
-Experiment with patterns, shapes, and creative construction
-Use manipulatives and objects to enhance storytelling
-Learn the value of sustainability and creative reuse

Each class encourages imagination, collaboration, and problem-solving, helping students build confidence both on and off the stage. Participants will work together in a supportive, inclusive environment where every idea is valued.
