Compass Creative Dramatics

Our Wizard of Oz team said goodbye to Lynchburg, VA, last week after a fantastic camp with students at the Academy Center of the Arts and they followed the rainbow back home to Chicago. 🌈

This week has found our teams teaching students how to stretch creativity muscles in Howards Grove, WI, at the Howards Grove Center for the Arts and in New Bedford, MA, at Zeiterion Theatre!

Take intentional time today to celebrate and honor Martin Luther King Junior. Here are 7 ways to gather the family and engage in activities right at home that honor his legacy, including taking a virtual tour of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis! (So cool!)

7 Ways To Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day At Home Gather the family for these engaging activities that honor the legendary civil rights leader.

This might seem batty to you, but did you know when bats have to use louder echolocation than normal, they burn a lot more energy - so they have to eat more to be louder? The Science Journal for Kids did a study with nine bats in wind tunnels and used different noise settings to test it out.

Taking care of your voice and knowing how to energize it properly is important in theatre, singing, and even talking on the phone. So take it from the bats – rest up, eat (and hydrate) plenty so you can take the best care of your voice and "hang out" longer on - and off the stage!

Why do bats need more food to call louder? - Science Journal for Kids Scientists wanted to find out if a bat needs more energy to echolocate loudly. Scientific article for students.

Some of the Compass team met to plan out their EXTRA SPECIAL event for their GROWN UP fans happening this coming winter. Sneak Peeks into the plan includes:

- An UNBOXING (Because who doesn't love a good reveal?)
- Science experiments (that may include some grown-up consumable concoctions!)
- Slime (because no matter how old you get - you don't get too old for slime!)
