We can't believe it's already been three weeks of camp!
The students have even super busy rehearsing their songs and dances, and memorizing their lines for the upcoming production of Into the Woods Jr. Our first performance is in exactly two weeks! Today, on Fun Day Friday, the theme was Cinderella. The students dressed up as characters from the story. The most popular costumes included Cinderella (both glamorous and as a peasant), mice, and the cat Lucifer. What a fun three weeks we've had so far! We can't wait for two more! :)

It was FUN DAY FRIDAY! Today's fairy-tale theme was Jack and the Beanstalk and many of the kids dressed up as characters (or objects) from the classic story. Popular costumes of the day included Jack's mother, the cow (Milky White), the beanstalk, and the golden egg. After a day full of music rehearsal, practicing lines, and blocking, we ended the day with an hour full of fun games that the students seemed to thoroughly enjoy.

We had a morning full or workshops. The first was an ensemble building workshop, where we played some fun games to bond the cast and build trust among one another. The second workshop was about painting a picture with music. Here the kids listened to and discussed how parts of music can hold emotion and energy, and represent many different feelings. In our afternoon rehearsal, we finished blocking a good chunk of the first part of the show. Everyday more and more elements are coming together. Just over three weeks until the final production! :) Today, on day 6 of camp...

Started off as usual, by playing some fun theatre games to get each student warmed up with their bodies and voices. We continued with two in depth workshops where we learned about some technical theatre terms in one lesson, and learned about the practice of storytelling in the other. After lunch, we learned and reviewed some songs for our upcoming production of Into The Woods Jr. Following this, we learned and reviewed some dances and ensemble numbers for the show. After another afternoon storytelling game, the time came to reveal the cast list to the students. We truly have a wonderful cast for our August production, and each role is extremely vital and valuable to the final product. Today was another great day, and we hope everyone continues to have fun! :)
