Drama Camp offers workshops on acting, directing, playwriting, technical, musical theatre, and comedy improvisation. In addition, campers are treated to special workshops such as accent work, clowning, puppetry, and fight choreography, as well as awesome field trips and weekly recreational activities. The camp ends with a big show completely produced by the campers and is open to all parents and friends.
Acting
For aspiring young actors, this course emphasizes both process and product. Each camper learns the three tools of an actor - body, voice, and mind. Campers also work on script analysis, group work, imagery, and basic acting technique.
Playwriting
Designed to inspire campers to use their imagination in creating their own stories, the course focuses on the basics of dramatic structure. Students write scenes for other campers to perform.
Directing
Campers learn and practice the building blocks of directing, staging, working with actors, creating, and focusing thoughts into action. Every day the campers build new projects that teach how to craft a show visually, emotionally, and structurally.
Technical
Set design, lighting, sound, crew, and stage management are covered in this course on the technical aspects of theatre. Campers get hands-on training with stage equipment.
Musical Theatre
Campers learn to use their voices and bodies as instruments of expression as well as tools for theatrical character development. This course also focuses on choreography, contemporary performance dance, and how to use your voice in a large performing arts theatre.
Comedy Improvisation
Think fast! This course teaches students the art of thinking on their feet. Students learn the craft of comedy through the use of improvisation in a series of structured and fun exercises.
Special Workshops
In addition to the daily classes, students will also be exposed to a number of workshops teaching some additional theatre skills. These workshops include stage combat, masks, puppets, fun with accents, clowning techniques and much more!
