Claire Beckman

Fee $200 for 10 sessions. Creative drama and imagination classes for young children ages 3.5-5.5.
Claire wrote: "I wanted to create a class for young children where their desire to “be” a princess or a pirate or a dolphin would be as fully realized as possible complete with costumes, music and lighting. I wanted to give the children a few tools for story telling, like understanding what a character is and being able to name and express their feelings. Most importantly I wanted to take them on journeys of the imagination." Claire is an actress and the producing artistic director of Brookyn’s
Brave New World Theater Company – they just performed "Crossing
Brooklyn Ferry" at Celebrate Brooklyn in the summer of 2007.

antimatter, and more and all the proceeds from the store go directly to
826NYC,  a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students
ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to
helping teachers inspire their students to write. 826NYC provides drop-in
