This 5-Day Spring Break Camp is geared towards the young actor who desires to bring their acting skills to the next level. Students will have a blast working on the classic tale THE WIZARD OF OZ, as well as interact with other learners. No previous acting experience is required but strong reading skills are a must. This camp is beginner orientated but not too slow for those who have had some past theatrical experience. 

Each camp day starts off with a super fun vocal/movement warm-up, using various exercises focusing to strengthen the actors speaking voice (Speech, diction and articulation). During the time we will also spend time warming up our bodies, releasing tension and stress from the body while preparing for the work ahead. 

After the warm-up, our actors will participate in a series of constantly rotating fun and educational acting exercises, which will focus on a specific acting technique. (Sense memory, focus, memorization, visualizing etc.)

Halfway through each class learners will apply the instructed technique of the day to the assigned play. During this time actors will be encouraged to make strong character choices as well as learn how to effectively make the words they are speaking effectively come to life. At the end of each class the instructor will assign homework for the next day. Students will receive ample feedback form the other students and the teacher. 

At the end of the camp week, students will be a part of a virtual performance of THE WIZARD OF OZ.
