SUMMER THEATRE CAMP 2010

Instructor:  Rob Lutz

These week-long intensive theatre camps are for beginners and experienced actors alike who are looking for an opportunity to let their imagination run wild, to learn and to have fun together through drama. As the day progresses students explore movement, voice, and role-play through non-stressful developmental games.  Throughout the week these activities will provide the scene-work for a final production but along the way, we’ll take detours into just about anything: mime, mask, dance, song, stage combat, costume, lights and sound.  The week will conclude with an on-stage student performance under the lights of the Marigold theatre.

Dates:                                

August 16 - 20 Ages 13 - 17 - 8 SPOTS AVAILABLE

August 23 - 27 Ages 9 -12
