Today, on Day 4 of our Center Stage Camp we... Accomplished our usual morning routine and played some exciting theatre games to warm up for the day ahead. The students were then split into two groups where they participated in some workshops. Activities throughout the day within the workshops included painting, drawing, singing, dancing, and even reciting a few tongue twisters. We ended our exciting day with our first official rehearsal for Into The Woods Jr. We can already see the first inklings of a full production coming together, and can't wait for more! :) Reminders; - Tomorrow is DRESS UP DAY! The students can dress as their favorite character from the fairy-tale Little Red Riding Hood. Characters include Red Riding Hood, Granny, the Big Bad Wolf, the Huntsman, etc. - Don't forget to bring a water bottle, binder with script, and a pencil every day.

On Day 3 of Theatre camp we...
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! :)
