The Brownville Village Theatre is excited to offer three unique youth theatre courses this summer.
Intro. to Theatre Camp (ages 7-10)
July 12th 1PM-4PM
Tuition $35
This course will be a “first step” for grade school children to get acquainted with the stage and performance. In this three-hour class, students will learn about basic stage etiquette, beginner improvisation, and scene work. The class will include theatre games that teach teamwork, listening, projection, and focus. Each student will get a short script to work on with a group to be performed during “sharing time”.
Improvisation Camp (ages 11-18 )
August 1st 9AM-3PM
Tuition $60*
This course will be a 6 hour class that explores aspects of improvisational theatre. Improvisation (Improv), in theatre, is defined as the playing of scenes without written dialogue and with minimal or no predetermined dramatic activity. The class will learn improv warm-ups and play theatre games that focus on listening, creative thinking, the art of storytelling, and teamwork. Each student will participate in numerous improvisation games, and work on long form improvisation (long unscripted scenes) which will be presented during “sharing time”.
Stage Movement Camp (ages 11-18)
August 2nd 9AM-3PM
Tuition $60*
This advanced camp will focus on the use of the body on the stage to communicate character and action. This course will include exercises in body control, body language, and understanding and writing blocking. It will also include some dance, mime, and stage combat to provide beginner movement skills for the growing performer. The actors are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes that they can move in. Each student will work on a scene that demonstrates elements of stage movement which will be presented during "sharing time".
*Registration for both Improvisation and Stage Movement camps is $100.
All classes will include a sharing performance for parents/ family to attend at the end of the class.
