SUMMARY:Let There Be Play: Exploring Jewish Holiday and Torah Stories in Early Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Registration is closed.  \nHow can you bring the Jewish early childhood classroom to life through theater and play? \nJoin award-winning Jewish Educator and Theater Artist Jonathan Shmidt Chapman (Founder\, The K’ilu Company) for this hands-on workshop that will guide early childhood educators in using theater and play as tools to explore Jewish tradition. Jonathan will lead participants in exploring a variety of storytelling techniques\, including sensory storytelling\, guided narration\, physical theater\, and soundscape. We will use Jewish stories (Holidays and Torah) as a way to activate these techniques\, while exploring how the tools can be utilized across the ECE curriculum. \nParticipants will get a chance to try these techniques themselves\, and then unpack their application from infant/toddler through pre-school rooms. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how to make Jewish tradition more accessible and dynamic for young learners and their families through theater and creative play.
