My Project

Having a theater program at an elementary school is such a gift for young students. It's a place where they can explore new things and be exposed to different aspects of performance that they have never seen before. Theater is a space where people can be themselves without judgement.

I want to create a feeling of love and support in my classroom by having a safe space for them to come to and be themselves.

I want them to be excited about coming in the door, looking for that big comfy carpet and find their spot ready to start the lesson for the day. I want my students to feel good about coming to theater class and not dread having to sit on the cold tile floor. There will also be a stage set up in my classroom where students will be able to perform. The carpet will serve as a space for the audience to sit. I want them to feel comfortable while sitting and I know being comfortable will help them to become good audience members.

These students have been given a gift by having theater arts as a part of their curriculum. I want to be able to give them the best possible experience so that they can take these moments that they have shared with me throughout their entire lives. I want to be able to inspire them to dream big and not be afraid to take a leap of faith. And if they faulter on the way up, they deserve to have a soft place to land when they come down... and try again.

Ms. Brockwell will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by May 8.
