CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Each summer, Camp Shakespeare Teaching Artists create a unique curriculum aimed at optimizing students’ physical, intellectual and artistic development. All Teaching Artists are classically trained professional actors and educators. A typical day begins with a movement class during which students do a vocal and physical warm up and explore techniques for creating characters and visual storytelling. The morning continues with acting class, during which students explore improvisation and scene work followed by Text Analysis class, which provides strategies for understanding and communicating Shakespeare’s language. After lunch students safely train in the art of stage combat. The rest of the afternoon is dedicated to applying what they have learned in rehearsal.
