Hope Hoffman's
Theater & Movement Performance Projects
These can be arranged as after-school or in-school
programs, and are ideal for home-school programs.
Each of these has been produced and performed several times already, and is
ready to be offered and adapted to new groups.
Life Cycles of Seeds and Butterflies (or other
science lessons)
Ages: kindergarten through 2nd grade
A movement piece with children working as a group while Hope provides a guiding
spoken narrative and fiddle music. We discuss the material, do movement warm-ups
and group building, and learn simple interpretive choreography.
One or two sessions one hour each plus performance
Seeing My Seasons
Ages: 3rd and 4th grade
Inspired by ancient pageantry, mummers' plays and Morris dancing. Includes simple
songs, skits, interpretive folk dance and live fiddle music. Informal performance
draws on sessions where we invent and learn scenes exploring emotions, empathy
and the cycles of seasons.
A Story Dance of the History of Your City
Guided by a spoken narrative and live fiddle music, children and parents create
and learn interpretive movement to tell the story of their community. The script
will be written by Hope Hoffman based on material provided by the group.
4 sessions of one and a half hours each plus a performance
One movement teacher, one musician
