Program areas at Starting Arts

Theatre productions: under the direction of professional directors, choreographers and music directors, students in grades 3-12 rehearse for 10-12 weeks in preparation for a professional stage production, complete with costumes, props, lights, sound and sets. This program teaches students theatre skills, teamwork and discipline. Theatre productions can be performed onsite after school as well as in our studios located in san jose. Currently, Starting Arts produces over 70 productions throughout the year. Starting Arts also provides an intensive ?triple-threat? Dance, theatre and voice program called dream team. We have 2 groups: dream team grades 9-12 and dream team 2 grades 5-8. Students work on technique as well as performance. Once a month, they receive master class workshops with industry professionals. This program is by audition only and is designed for serious students ready to take their training to the next level.
WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING: create community by providing art enrichment for all students
School programs: school Arts programs are designed to support and enhance general education goals and incorporate the California visual and performing Arts standards. We also provide complementary programs to enhance any existing Arts enrichment the schools may have onsite. Before and after-school Arts programs offer classes in all four disciplines: dance, visual Arts, music and theatre. Classes meet either once or twice a week for 10- 12 weeks, culminating with a concert/exhibition.
