Summer Shakespeare Camps - East Bay April 25, 2008

Registrations now accepted; many camps sell out.

Campers will be introduced to three key facets of drama and theater:
* Discovering Shakespeare introduces students to the beauty, versatility and meaning of Shakespeare's language, working in-depth on a shortened version of a Shakespeare play.
* Voice and Movement challenges students to learn and use the power and expressiveness of their voices and bodies through theater games, vocal projection techniques, and improvisation skills.
* Production and Design teaches students the basics of the technical side of theater, costuming, props, and set design. They collaborate on the set design and construct costumes and props for their showcase performance on the final day of camp.

The camps are appropriate for youth who are new to drama as well as more experienced young actors. Teaching artists are well-trained adults, many with college degrees in the theater arts and acting experience.
