Theatre Arts and Dance will once again offer Creative Drama For Youth on six Saturday mornings, Oct. 4, 11, 18, 25 and Nov. 1 and 8, on the third floor of the Temple Building, 12th and R streets. Workshops tailored for elementary students grades 2-5 will be held from 9 to 10:15 a.m. and workshops tailored for middle school students grades 6-8 will be held from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. on each of the Saturday mornings. There is a one-time fee of $25 for all six workshops.
Participants will explore theatre through the improvisation of appropriate stories, poems, legends and world events. Students will use their imaginations and senses and learn to focus concentration, their voices and bodies to develop skills in beginning acting. This is not a course in theatre production. A play will not be produced. Sessions will be informal and imaginative - a perfect compliment to school work in language arts and social studies. Students will occasionally make masks, puppets and costume pieces, to help imaginations soar.

All workshops have a first-come/first-served deadline of Sept. 29. Parents are invited to attend the final class.
Twenty-one 19th-century Japanese woodblock prints depicting Samurai warrior stories are on display at the Lentz Center for Asian Culture through Sept. 9.
The exhibit, "Samurai Stories: Woodblock Prints of Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi," includes many prints in horizontal triptych form, a format suited to action panoramas.
Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) lived and worked during the later Edo Period of the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867). Kuniyoshi's early work focused on beautiful women, landscapes, book illustrations and Kabuki actors, but after the government banned portrayal of life in the pleasure districts in 1842, he turned his talents to making dramatic and colorful prints, mixing historical and mythological events.
The exhibit is from a private collection and was organized by the University of Iowa Museum of Art as a touring retrospective exhibition.
The Lentz Center is in room 329 of Morrill Hall, 14th and U streets.
Admission is free, but a donation of $2 is suggested for Morrill Hall
