Dance & Theatre
All the world is a stage, and at Kinkaid, those words are on display every day.
Dance
The well-balanced dance curriculum exposes students to ballet, modern, jazz contemporary, improvisation, world dance, and tap.
Theatre
Theatre at Kinkaid is a dynamic and collaborative art form. The School’s theatre curriculum encourages discovery through experimentation, creative risk-taking, and the application of professional techniques and best practices.
A wide range of courses and extracurricular activities provides students with opportunities to engage in theatre as creators, technicians, directors, and performers. Specific courses in theatre and production opportunities begin in fifth grade. The theatre program mounts approximately ten formal productions a year.
Technical Theatre
Technical theatre opportunities at Kinkaid begin in seventh grade and continue through twelfth grade. Students learn by being active participants in all aspects of technical theatre for all Visual and Performing Arts productions at Kinkaid, including scenic construction, lighting, sound, projection, scenic painting, and rigging.
Students participate in running crew, followspot operation, stage management, wardrobe, and control board operations. State-of-the-art facilities and equipment give our students exposure to current theatrical technologies and staging techniques.
