Citi Salutes - Piven Theatre - Empowering Military Children
About Citi Salutes Program
Citi Salutes, offered by The Knowledge Nest, is a comprehensive program designed to empower and support military children and their families. Our program focuses on providing educational opportunities, creative outlets, and community engagement for military families, allowing them to thrive and succeed amidst the unique challenges they face.
Empowering Military Children Through Theatre
Piven Theatre, a renowned institution in the performing arts community, partners with Citi Salutes to provide an exceptional program specifically curated for military children. Through this collaboration, we aim to foster self-expression, build confidence, and develop social skills in young individuals who have a strong connection to the military.
The Piven Method
At the core of our program is The Piven Method, a unique approach to actor training that encourages students to explore their creativity, develop empathy, and become effective communicators. The Piven Method focuses not only on performance skills but also emphasizes personal growth and emotional intelligence.
Comprehensive Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to engage military children of all ages, from preschoolers to teenagers. Each class is led by highly trained instructors who possess an extensive background in theatre and education. We offer a wide range of classes and workshops covering various aspects of theatre, including acting, improvisation, voice training, and stagecraft.
Benefits of Citi Salutes Program
1. Personal Development
By participating in the Citi Salutes program, military children have the opportunity to develop valuable life skills such as self-confidence, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. These skills not only enhance their artistic abilities but also prepare them for future endeavors in any field they choose.
2. Emotional Well-being
The transient nature of military life can often lead to emotional challenges for children. Citi Salutes provides a supportive and nurturing environment where military children can express their emotions, develop resiliency, and find camaraderie with peers who share similar experiences.
3. Community Engagement
We believe in the power of community and encourage active participation in local events. Citi Salutes organizes performances, showcases, and community outreach programs that allow military children to share their talent and connect with others in the community.
