Class Description:

Creative Drama is a perfect introduction to the world of theatre.

This class emphasizes young children’s inherent sense of play, musicality, and imagination. Each day in Creative Drama offers lessons in storytelling, creative movement, group music, and theatre games.

While students learn the building blocks and vocabulary of theatre, they’ll also practice important skills like listening, teamwork, and empathizing with others through stories. At the end of this class, the students will perform a sample of what they’ve learned for a small audience of friends and family.

No two Creative Drama courses are ever the same. Because of this, we recommend that most children take Creative Drama for at least two semesters.

SPARC - Paul Major

Meet Paul Major!

Paul has had the pleasure of teaching with SPARC for over a decade and has been a teaching artist and youth worker for even longer. With a degree in Music Theatre from Shenandoah Conservatory, Paul performed all over the United States before deciding that youth work and teaching were his calling. While performing, he had the pleasure of working at Dollywood and received the I.A.A.P.A. award, the highest honor bestowed upon any theme park performer worldwide, and performed alongside Dolly herself.

In Richmond, he has performed in countless shows with local and regional theaters and has designed hair and makeup for many others. In his time at SPARC, Paul has served as the Program Director for Spectrum, SPARC's theatre program for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies, and the Program Director for Seasonal Camps. For many years he has lead and created other programs and classes at SPARC. The work that he has done with youth throughout his career has helped to shape the lives of many youth in the Richmond area and beyond.
