Voice
Campers learn healthy vocal technique, including proper breathing, breath support and voice placement as they explore ways to interpret a song and communicate it to the audience.
Dance
Poise and presentation are developed through the language of dance. From warm-ups through fun exercises to polished performance, the choreography incorporates a variety of styles, steps and razzle-dazzle.
Acting
Fundamentals of dramatic interpretation, stage directions and theater skills are illustrated and practiced. Scene study and improvisational games utilize proven methods of character development, motivation and objective to bring each actor's role vividly to life.
Costumes
Campers design and make their own show-stopping costumes using simple arts and crafts. The playful hats, props and accessories allow individual expression while creating the ensemble look of each musical number.
Stagecraft
Traditional set construction principles are introduced as groups work together to assemble and paint scenery used as part of the final set. Theatrical lighting and other aspects of technical staging are explained and demonstrated.
