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. 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.
