Shenanigans- 3 weeks

This was my third week working with Shenanigans, and I can only say great things about it. The class starts with a stretch and share that then leads to an energy class. Then improv games that focus on respect, focusing, fun, and adapting to different situations. Then scenario games are played to develop performing skills. The class then ends with another cool down share when everyone just reflects on the class. The teachers and kids are all amazing, and everyone has so much fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The website is http://www.shenanigansimprov.com/

Interview

This weekend I realized I was chaperoning a boy whos twin brother has autism. I asked him if I could interview him, and he said sure. Here it is.

Shenanigans

Sadly I am not old enough to volunteer at the Marcus Autism Center, but I was told of Shenanigans. Shenanigins is an applied theater program for children and adults with Aspergers and high function autism. It was started by Sandy Bruce when she realized her grandson with Aspergers had trouble in regular community theater. I emailed her and she agreed to let me volunteer. I am very excited and ready to take the next step in my project.
