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.
This camp offers a full theatrical experience where students become playwrights, actors, and directors all in one.
Using a weekly theme, myth, or story as inspiration, campers collaborate to create their own original adaptation from start to finish. They write the script, stage the production, rehearse, and share their work with family and friends on Friday.
Students gain ownership of their ideas while learning how stories come to life on stage.
Students practice:
Understanding dramatic structure
Improvising and writing dialogue
Developing characters and relationships
Editing for clear storytelling
Learning stage directions and theatre vocabulary
Using voice and movement intentionally
Creating theatrical worlds through sound and staging
Working collaboratively as an ensemble
Presenting work confidently to an audience
Each week explores a new story or theme, so students can return again and again with new challenges and creations.
