The Tin Can Fantasy Factory , part of the Ithaca Youth Bureau's Center for the Expressive Arts, is a travelling summer improvisational theatre troupe that performs for children and families at playgrounds, local parks, day camps, community centers, and state parks . It brings a world of theatre to children of all social and economic backgrounds. Children are encouraged to talk with the actors about costumes, props, sets, learnings, and feelings after each show. The troupe writes scripts based on children's ideas. Plays illuminate such issues as being your own person, the power of words, imagination, and self-esteem.
Care is given in creating scripts rich in language and reflecting positive social values.
Improvisation and movement games included. This class is designed to invite families who can fit just four classes into their busy schedules. Guaranteed to leave you feeling light on your feet and bring you closer to your family. Old school graffiti artist Michael Maier will show techniques and insights into his art form as an international subculture and voice of young people. All rights reserved.
