Cali Center Drama Club
The CALI Center After School Program is excited to have registered with the Creative Arts Team to bring the performing arts to the After School.
Master Teacher
Under the tutelage of Ms. Megias, a seasoned ELA and Theater Teacher, students will have “a chance to create their own work of original theater using Shakespeare’s text and to perform their work on an off-Broadway stage.”
Creating Scenes
Participants meet twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, to create and practice.
Performance Time
At the culminating event, in late spring, Ms. Megias and the students will join groups from across the city and perform 5-8 minute scenes of Shakespeare at the Abrons Art Center Playhouse Theatre, 466 Grand Street, NY, NY 10002.
After School Activities
Students work collaborately or independently to complete homework, projects, or to study material.
Interactive Games
What better way to learn than by “watching, participating, experiencing, and engaging” to retain information. Interactive learning uses multiple parts of the brain.
Prizes and Surprises
Incentives are a great motivator, no matter how big or small. Cali Center loves rewarding students for their efforts.
American Sign Language
Communciation is key! Learning a foreign language or sign language helps creates more positive attitudes and less prejudice toward people who are different.
Not Magic but Science
Our students enjoyed this experiment that taught them that the key to an object not falling over is that its center of mass is directly above the base of support.
Thumbs up, after a few spills!
There were many attempts and spills to get it right. However, with the right amount of water in the soda can, the center of mass moves and ends up directly above the base of support.
