SPECIALTY CAMPS
Boarding Camp at Green River Preserve -Registration Closed-
Rising 8th-12th grade students with an interest in drama can join a team of teachers at the pristine Green River Preserve from JULY 18-22 for an exceptional learning experience. Our focus is ensemble development and the individual student’s artistic growth—we are not a typical Musical Theatre camp. The natural surroundings act as a catalyst for creative growth and the exploration of core drama principles. With FIVE DAYS of intensive training, product and performance are not the ultimate goals—self-discovery, inner motivation and directed collaboration are the life-affirming objectives.
2009: The Actor as Creator
July 18-22
(misprint in pdf brochure says Sunday-should say Saturday, July 18th)
$625- no discounts apply
Led by Jef Lambdin, a NC Arts Council teaching Artist, this workshop is designed to push a young actor/creator to create work of importance: work that touches audience members at a visceral level, whether seriously or humorously. This workshop helps the young actor/creator to recognize and make the choices leading to substantive, interesting, deep and resonant theater.
We’ll include work in: improvisation, composition, editing, and ensemble. All the work is designed to build the skills necessary for the young actor/creator to contribute at all levels of the artistic process, from conceptualization through improvisation and playwriting to scripting and performing.
