"In The Company of Angels" debuted its Lewis Co. Youth Bureau Grant workshop and assembly "Express The Positive" at Beaver River Central on April 10th and 11th. More than twenty middle school students joined Rhonda in an after school assembly to learn how the arts promote self esteem and confidence and help with making good choices.
The workshop incorporated acting, word association, art, movement and writing. The overall themes were "It's not what you say, it's how you say it" and, of course, "Express the positive".
On Friday, the workshop participants joined company members in an assembly for their peers. They danced, sang, acted, showed artwork, played instruments and threw in some comedy!
Co-Director and workshop instructor Rhonda Foote was pleased with the energy and outlook the students brought to both the workshop and the assembly.
Co-Director Carrie Edick stated, "If even one young person feels better about their interest and involvement in the arts after participating in the workshop or viewing the assembly, we have accomplished something wonderful".
