Studying acting can offer numerous benefits to a child's development, both personally and academically.

Communication Skills: Acting helps children develop strong verbal and non-verbal communication skills. They learn to express themselves clearly, use body language effectively, and articulate emotions.
Confidence Building: Performing can boost a child's self-confidence. Overcoming stage fright and receiving positive feedback can contribute to a sense of accomplishment (Instead of a live audience, we send parents a recording of the end of session performance to share with friends & family.)
Creativity and Imagination: Acting encourages creativity and imagination. Children learn to think outside the box, explore different perspectives, and develop a heightened sense of imagination, which can be valuable in various aspects of life.
Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Through portraying different characters, children gain a better understanding of human emotions and different perspectives. This can enhance their empathy and emotional intelligence, improving their ability to relate to others.
Problem-Solving Skills: Acting often involves working with others to solve problems, whether it's figuring out how to stage a scene or collaborating with fellow actors. This can enhance a child's teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Public Speaking Skills: Acting helps children become more comfortable with public speaking, an essential skill in many areas of life. Whether presenting in class or later in a professional setting, the ability to articulate thoughts and ideas effectively is valuable.
Discipline and Focus: Rehearsing a piece for performance requires discipline and focus. Children learn the importance of commitment, regular practice, and the value of hard work in achieving their goals.
Physical Expression: Acting involves using the body as a tool for expression. This can improve a child's physical coordination, awareness of body language, and overall physical expression.
Life Skills: Many of the skills learned in acting are transferable to other areas of life. Whether it's building confidence, developing strong communication skills, or learning to work effectively in a team, these skills can benefit a child in various personal and professional contexts.

Students are asked to wear clothing they are comfortable moving in, shoes that stay on their feet and cover their toes, and to bring water bottles labelled with their name.
We will record the end-of-semester “sharing” and send parent’s the video link. The recorded “sharings” will not be highly polished and will be very low tech as our primary goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable class experience, filled with group interaction and fun. A Vimeo Link that you can send to distant family and download to keep forever will be sent after the class concludes.

This is a performance-based camp (as opposed to activity-based). With all performances, comes a bunch of rehearsal both during and possibly outside of camp time. We will teach theatre skills though the camp theme and will devise or create a short performance. However, sometimes the performance goes differently than planned as young performers may be having a difficult day, and rather than force the issue, we will go with the flow. Our goal is to engage the students in preparing for the low-pressure performance, without causing undo anxiety and not spending every minute of class time solely repeating rehearsals, however there will be repetition. (An activity-based camp will be better for students who just want to have fun.)
The recorded “sharings” will not be highly polished and will be very low tech as our primary goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable class experience, filled with group interaction and fun. After the camp concludes, we will send you a Vimeo link to the performance video so you can share or download it.

We ask students to wear clothing they are comfortable moving in, shoes that stay on their feet and cover their toes, and to bring water bottles labeled with their name.
