Pack your bags for a theatrical trek across the globe! This camp celebrates the art of diverse storytelling. From the oral traditions of the Serengeti to the vibrant folklore of the Andes, students will explore how different cultures tell stories through movement, masks, and music. It’s a week of building "ensemble" skills, as campers learn that while our stories may come from different corners of the earth, the language of the stage brings us all together.
With their Teaching Artist, students bring stories to life by turning a book or weekly theme into an original play using sound, movement, dialogue, and creative staging.
Throughout the week, campers help build the world of their show and rehearse together as an ensemble. Friday concludes with a relaxed, family sharing in our main auditorium.
At this level, the Teaching Artist participates alongside students to create a safe, confident performance environment.
Students develop foundational acting skills by using the actor’s three tools — voice, body, and imagination — while strengthening collaboration and confidence.
Students practice:
Using loud, clear voices
Moving as specific characters
Following stage directions and theatre vocabulary
Improvising dialogue
Creating soundscapes and stage pictures
Understanding basic story structure
Working as an ensemble
Building focus and discipline
And having a whole lot of fun
Each week features a new theme or story, making camps repeatable and always fresh.
