Introduction to Theatrical Stage Combat
June 19 to 23
$141 St. Peters Resident/Rec-Plex Member; $176 General Public
In this camp, young actors will learn the nuances of unarmed movement in a theatrical environment. This camp centers on communication, cooperation, focus and of course, trust. Not merely a class on technique, this camp is an in-depth look at these concepts. The goal is to train young actors as we are shaping minds. The camp consists of three basic components and are fluid and complimentary to each other. The components include safety, character development and spectacle. The camp is designed to instill a sense of shared responsibility, respect for others, awareness of environment and of course, creative expression. Campers should wear comfortable pants (sweat pants or running pants). At the end of this one week camp, campers will perform pieces that they worked on together. The sense of achievement and ownership in such an endeavor is incalculable! So, let's learn and have fun!
