Camp Applause Tracks
The Acting Track
The Camp Applause Acting track will offer five classes each day, including Improv Games, Technical Theatre, Dance, and Performance. Within these classes campers will be preparing to perform a production of short drama pieces. Students will be challenged to memorize lines and blocking as they gain experience on the stage. Additionally, campers will enjoy warm up activities that encourage expression, articulation and focus.
The Technical Theatre Track
The Technical Theatre Track is only available to students in rising 5th through rising 9th grades. This group will join the Acting Track at the beginning of each day for warm up activities that encourage expression, articulation and focus. These students will then prepare sets, props and practice scene changes for our Thursday afternoon production. This is a great option for students who enjoy theatre but may not feel comfortable performing.
