Act It Out! Practice for Life (Headstart - 5th Grade)
In this Role Process Drama program, a week-long story unfolds dealing with themes relevant to the age group, such as sharing, bossing or bullying, non-violent conflict resolution and curricular themes. In character, the students and teachers, problem-solve the conflict that comes up between characters played by the Looking For Lilith teaching artists. Students have the chance to develop skills in communication, conflict resolution, problem solving and self-confidence while having a great deal of fun!

Living the Story (Headstart - 5th Grade)
In this dynamic and interactive class, Looking For Lilith teaching artists lead students into the world of a storybook, folk tale, or other work of fiction. Students take on the roles of various characters, and will “live” as the characters during the class, interacting with each other and with the teacher-in-role. As they face the problems and conflicts the characters encounter in the story, they develop problem-solving and communication skills that enable them to work together, and move the story forward to its conclusion

Drama Core Content (Grades 4, 5 and 8)
Looking For Lilith artists introduce students to the four main elements of drama: playwriting, acting, directing, and design. Students experience the creative and collaborative process of drama through interactive exercises. These workshops help prepare students for Kentucky CATS Assessment as they are aligned with the Arts and Humanities Core Content 4.1.

Drama Across the Curriculum (Headstart - 12th Grade)
In this cross-curriculum course, a Looking For Lilith teaching artist collaborates with a classroom teacher to bring to life topics from the curriculum! For example, students may take on the roles of pioneers heading West in a Social Studies class, or become expert physicists attempting to invent a new machine in Science class! Lesson plans will address Kentucky's CORE Content in the academic topic studied, as well as in Arts and Humanities.

Creating Original Theatre with Young People (Grades 6-12)
Looking for Lilith artists will work with students grades 6-12 in an ensemble setting. Students learn techniques that aid them in building self-esteem, critical thinking skills, and healthy group dynamics. The LFL facilitator(s) lead the group in discussing social and/or historical themes and selecting a theme of interest to the group. The group uses the theatre skills they have gained to create an original theatre piece based on this topic. Using research, original writing, movement, and improvisation, the students create an original performance in which the group is fully invested.

Custom Designed Residencies (Grades K-12)
We are also available to work with your school staff or community organizers to design a program that best fits the needs of your group.

Professional Development
Within the company we also have teacher training experts in who offer a variety of Professional Development opportunities that can be part of a residency package. Training options include leading drama activities, interactive storybook reading, interactive storytelling, creating and implementing a role drama lesson plan based on a storybook or theme, integrating drama into curriculum, and exploring social themes through drama.
