Throughout the school’s theatre arts curriculum and co-curriculum, students in grades K – 12 learn to express ideas through theatrical concepts that range from simple, imaginative role playing to full-scale productions.
Our programs provide students with a stimulating blend of cultural diversity, intellectual vigor, and creative experience in an intimate, safe, and supportive atmosphere. Rich and varied educational experiences in acting, movement, improvisation, storytelling, and design training enable all students to grow personally, collaboratively and fully through creative expression, while developing their performance skills. Arts and culture play a critical role in nurturing the human spirit, and Punahou Theatre students will inspire others to consider, reflect, and change the world.
Our goals are to:
-
Develop a solid theatre vocabulary
-
Encompass local, global and historical contexts/connections
-
Develop an individual and ensemble voice as an outlet for expression
-
Understand, reflect, model and practice empathy
-
Encourage creativity, both individually and collaboratively
-
Foster a sense of artistic community and belonging
-
Empower students to have a growth mindset in striving to realize their potential
-
Apply knowledge and skills towards approaching challenges in any situation (including but not limited to): identity, self-worth, patience, perseverance, empathy, humility, self-discipline, collaboration, resilience, determination and time management
