Campers will improve their confidence and experience the dramatic process from audition to performance. They will also explore myths and fables from around the world in an interactive way. 

I am an experienced youth theatre director and elementary school teacher, passionate about introducing children to the world of theatre. I hold an English and Theatre degree from the University of British Columbia, in which I was able to explore stories and storytelling traditions from diverse countries and cultures. I then took my Education degree with a specialization in Indigenous Education, which gave me tools and best practices in introducing not only Indigenous content but also content from other marginalized cultures to classes I lead. I bring this experience with me into my teaching practice in all capacities.
