FROGZ: Science & Movement Workshop
Includes three visits to your classroom!

A theatrical menagerie of wonder and whimsy, FROGZ captivates with its zany creature-theater performance! See life-sized penguins, sloths, and frogs take center stage. Ingenious masks, fingersnapping music, and outlandish costumes create an incredible feast for the senses. Dancers transform their bodies, showcasing the movements of animals, amphibians, and more. Your students won’t believe their eyes!

Lesson Plan Idea
Students study frogs, penguins, sloths, and other animals and create masks based on their research.

Working with Deborah Slater Dance Theatre, students will explore creative movement as a language technique. They will be introduced to movement qualities, muscle group isolation, and concepts of working as an ensemble. Students will examine familiar creatures and critters using innovative methods of improvisation and movement.
