戏剧艺术学士-青年观众剧院

TYA计划鼓励戏剧的发展和追求，将戏剧教育和课程开发的基本重点与木偶，面具，小丑和舞蹈的大胆戏剧结合起来。在该计划的灵活框架内，学生可以专攻各种学科，包括表演，课程，导演，剧本创作和木偶表演。我们相信应该在舞台上看到，在教室中使用并传递给我们的世界，对TYA有广泛的了解。这些核心价值观–生产，指导和服务–是该计划各个方面的基础。通过令人惊叹的制作，TYA计划庆祝现场表演的兴高采烈。每年，成千上万的儿童，年轻人和家庭到达肯尼迪剧院的大门，将他们带入魔幻世界。制作内容从经典的童话故事到儿童文学的改编，再到学生
The TYA program encourages the development and pursuit of wonder, combining a foundational emphasis in drama education and curriculum development with the bold theatrics of puppetry, mask, clown, and dance. Within the flexible framework of the program, students can specialize in a wide variety of disciplines – acting, curriculum, directing, playwriting, and puppetry – all with the goal of capturing the imagination of young audiences.We believe in an expansive understanding of TYA that should be seen on the stage, used in the classroom and sent to our world. These core values – production, instruction, and service – are fundamental to all aspects of the program.Through breathtaking productions, the TYA program celebrates the exhilaration of live performance. Each year thousands of children, young adults and families arrive at the doors of Kennedy Theatre to be ushered into magical worlds beyond. Productions have ranged from classic fairy tales, to adaptations of children's literature, to new works by students, faculty, and guest playwrights. These offerings are filled with adventurous theatrical designs and styles, often combining elements of musical theatre, dance, puppetry, mask, and Asian and Hawaiian theatre techniques. The TYA program rejects a diminutive notion of ‘children's theatre' as a lighter, lesser, inferior cousin of ‘serious theatre.' Instead, we believe that TYA productions should strive for the highest level of artistic expression possible in every single aspect of the production.
