DISNEY the LION KING is offering FREE ONLINE ACTING LESSONS!!!!
Disney Theatrical Productions has made their Lion King-themed curriculum free for families during the pandemic. The curriculum, split into a "Kids" edition aimed at kids aged 8-11 and a "Jr." edition for adolescents aged 12-15, was originally designed to accompany a school's production of the show and is generally taught in classrooms. But Disney has now adapted the 45-minute lessons for families to enjoy at home. What's more, they're offering both for free.
To dive in, families can head over to LionKingExperience.com, then download either the KIDS curriculum (11 sessions) or the JR curriculum (18) at home-learning modifications, then follow the instructions in the PDFs to link to the accompanying videos and resources. Each session comes with a video intro from Jelani Remy and Syndee Winters, who starred in the Broadway production of The Lion King. Then, parents and their children are encouraged to explore the topic individually and create a related project, such as a birthday card for Simba, an original song, a lighting design concept, or a theatrical mask. Finally, students can share their work with people in their home and reflect in a journal that they'll create in their first session. At the end of the course, they'll receive a completion certificate to celebrate their hard work.
