Description

In the residency Fables in Movement, students explore the three elements of Synetic Theater’s style of physical theatre: movement, acting, and pantomime. Following a workshop in each discipline, students will work in groups to choreograph selected fables.

Typically, residencies range from $2,500 and up, but we can use your available budget and ‘work backwards’ to create a cost-effective residency for your school. We may be able to assist you in securing grant and funding opportunities.

Residencies are tailored to your needs but usually include:

A kick-off assembly (performing arts only)
A required orientation meeting and planning session
A set of workshops for classes of up to 25 students each
A student culminating or sharing event
An evaluation meeting

Audience Limit 25 students per classroom

Program Length 3 (minimum) - 5 (ideal) programs per session

Technical Requirements

Due to the highly physical nature of its classes, which involve running, jumping, and physical contact in small spaces, Synetic continues to abide by Actors' Equity rules and err on the side of caution. All staff, artists, and youth company members are masked and have bi-weekly testing. Synetic kindly requests that all students and staff participating in Synetic classes and workshops wear masks, and would be happy to provide a request letter, from Synetic, to send to parents. Thank you for your consideration.

Testimonials

"The entire student body and teachers were able to appreciate the theater art form in a whole new and exciting way, with the students benefitting from the cumulative hands-on experience. All students and teachers involved in the residency were engaged and enthusiastic and gained a wealth of knowledge from the performers. The entire school population benefited from exposure to a different art form than is in the current arts curriculum offered at the primary level. The gentlemen at Synetic were engaging, professional, and kept our students' rapt attention as they navigated through theater concepts. Teachers and students alike were very inspired by Synetic's abilities as performers as well as instructors."
