Step into the "Once Upon a Time" and find the hero within. This week, we move beyond the storybook to explore the archetypes of legends. Whether they are interpreting the cleverness of Anansi the Spider or the bravery of a dragon-slayer, students will focus on vocal characterization and dramatic stakes. Campers won't just read the myths; they’ll reconstruct them, giving classic characters a modern, theatrical twist.
You might think your 4- or 5-year-old creates enough drama at home — now they get to use that creativity on stage.
This Camp invites young artists to explore favorite stories, picture books, music, movement, crafts, and imaginative play through theatre. Each week features a different theme or story as inspiration, giving campers fresh activities and adventures every time they attend.
At this age, the focus is on process over performance — creative play, exploration, and expression in a joyful, supportive environment. Rather than a formal show, families are invited into the classroom at the end of the week for a casual sharing of favorite games and activities.
Students practice:
Using loud, clear voices
Moving as different characters
Learning basic stage directions and theatre vocabulary
Working together in imaginative play
Beginning storytelling skills
Expressing thoughts and feelings creatively
Taking turns and collaborating
And having an absolute blast
At NCT, we prioritize healthy social and creative development, building confidence and skills that extend far beyond the stage.
