Students will learn about acting and build their environment, too! During the first few days of this 2-week camp, children will generate ideas that will lead to a customized script, written specifically for class. Once the script has been developed, students will spend part of the afternoon designing and building props, creating an environment specific to the play. Students will spend the rest of the afternoon participating in specialized exercises that teach them how to project their voices, develop a character, and most importantly, to acquire the confidence to act on a stage in front of an audience. The class will culminate with a performance for family and friends. Students should bring one or two snacks each day, and wear comfortable, old clothes. Things may get messy during the construction of props!
