A Day In The Life
WHO IS PAIGE?
WHERE IS PAIGE?
WE DON’T KNOW.
SHE’S ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.
Whether its performing on any DC/Balto. area stage or teaching a video production class for teenagers, Paige makes a point to perform in the craft she loves while being a strong advocate for arts education.
A typical day in the life of Paige might include promoting literacy through drama in a preschool, moving on to choreographing a hip hop routine for a middle school performance, leading a workshop for DC public school teachers in class management and then there’s a short break for dinner. And then it’s on to rehearsal/performance at a theater near you. Classical, contemporary, hip-hop theater, children’s theater…even theater for the hearing impaired …any style that suits an audience is likely to be a style that Paige is willing to cover.
So yes, it will take her forever to return emails and calls, but she’s not avoiding you…. oh no. She’s trying to save the world by spreading the arts to one person at a time.
Thoughts
My sibling and I were never confused, only enlightened. Just when the adolescent adjustment period began to settle in, my family moved to a completely Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. All of a sudden, I was thrust into learning a new culture and its components. With an increasing amount of knowledge growing inside and diversity blooming all around outside, I was desperate for an outlet to feed my growing awareness. And then one day, it became clear. I came home after playing with my friends on Shabbat and reenacted their expressions, hummed the prayer tune and did the accompanying dance to entertain my brother. I was destined for the performing arts.

Don’t Sweat the Technique: Hip Hop Strategies and Activities for the Classroom and Stage
Participants will explore innovative hip hop teaching methods, activities and exercises to supplement curriculum and/or to use in performance pieces. The workshop will show how each hip hop element (Emcee, DJ, Graffiti and B-boy) can easily be transformed into exercises or performance pieces.
Hip Hop Body Rock
Calling all fly girls and b-boys! Learn about significant hip hop choreographers, different styles of hip hop dance and regional/cultural influences. Then it‘s time to stretch and flex before you learn a brand new hip hop routine. Warning: after taking this class, your ―swagga‖ may go into overdrive!
Community Collabo
As ensemble, participants will write, devise and perform their own ten-minute theatrical piece. Paige will lead the group through transitions, tableaux and basic play building. In the end, resources will be plentiful for the group to continue to create meaningful pieces in their communities.
Rap, Clap, Write That!
A pen and a paper is all you need to be a playwright! Effortlessly create characters, plots and setting using hip hop inspiration. Participants will be inspired to create poems, monologues and basic dialogue. If there‘s time at the end, we‘ll share the genius.
CREATE Your Own!
I can create a workshop that meets your participants’ needs. Combine elements from the workshops above or pow-wow with me to create something unique, inspiring and educational.
