A NOTE ABOUT OUR STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH TO THEATRE

Rock Ridge Performing Arts: Embracing Student-Driven Design and Construction

At Rock Ridge Performing Arts, we are deeply committed to fostering a student-centered environment where creativity and hands-on experience take the forefront. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that the most impactful learning happens when students are at the heart of the creative process.

We proudly affirm that all of our designs, including but not limited to sets, lights, props, costumes, hair and make-up, special FX, sound, front of the house, and technical aspects, are conceptualized, designed, and constructed by our talented students. While our dedicated team of adult professionals provides guidance and teaching, the students bring these visions to life. Their creativity is not just encouraged; it is essential.

In our program, students are not just learners but designers, creators, and innovators. This approach enhances their artistic skills and instills a sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride in their work. By entrusting our students with these critical roles, we prepare them for future success in the arts and beyond.

We invite you to witness our students' extraordinary talent and dedication in each production. Their work is a testament to the power of student-driven creativity and the remarkable outcomes of hands-on learning.
