Behind the scenes in our Adolescent Program Middle School drama class! Students have been hard at work crafting original masks for characters they are devising from scratch. Once the masks are complete, the real theatrical work begins: developing unique physical movements, distinct obsessions, and clear motivations to bring these characters to life through classroom improvisations.
Rather than simply handing students a script to memorise, this project puts them in charge of the entire creative process, from sculpting the mask to inventing the psychology behind the character. It is a great example of hands-on Montessori learning in action, connecting physical craft with storytelling, empathy, and quick thinking on stage.
