About this Event
Join Centre Stage Theatre School at our weekly summer camps!
Camps are a great way to make new friends, learn new skills, develop your creativity and have fun acting, singing, and dancing as well as creating and performing in a production. Students will explore techniques and activities such as stage movement, characterization, improvisation, vocal work, theatre dance, theatre games, singing, storytelling, warm-up and cool-down activities, as well as the creation of props, scenery, and costumes. Students will be grouped according to age wherever possible.
At the end of each week, everyone will perform in a show for parents and/or guardians in the Centre Stage Studio Theatre (COVID-19 guidelines and requirements permitting).
The Program
The program focuses on developing strong acting skills while emphasizing self-confidence, expression, creativity, concentration, self-esteem, individual style, and public speaking and group cooperation skills, all in an atmosphere of fun and excitement.
The environment is welcoming, rewarding, challenging, and supportive. We have built variety into the program, so that campers remain involved and everyone has an opportunity to participate fully. Students have the opportunity to meet new friends, learn new skills, and have FUN.
The program grew out of founder Helen Zdriluk's many years of experience as arts educator and our strong belief in the value of education in and through theatre and music theatre. Our goals are to nurture each student’s imagination, develop theatre skills, boost self-esteem and enable students to perform in a safe and supportive environment. Based on our philosophy that theatre skills mirror life skills, our programs develop theatre skills that will be valuable in academic, social and personal contexts.
