About This Activity
Sleeping Giants Theatre summer camps are designed for aspiring actors or performance enthusiasts who want to learn all about acting, build confidence, and have fun in a supportive and creative environment. Drama camps are an incredible place to make lasting connections with like minded friends, all while learning valuable skills that translate to every aspect of life. Students will participate in a variety of activities that are designed to develop their acting abilities, including drama games, movement and voice technique, character development, improvisation, and more. Our experienced instructors are passionate about helping each student to grow as a performer and gain valuable skills that can be applied both on and off stage. Throughout the entire camp, students will work together to create their own original play to perform at the end of the camp. They will have the opportunity to be a part of the entire creative process, writing lines, creating characters, and may choose to be involved in any aspect of the technical design as well, such as costumes and sound. Students will also receive instruction and support on musical composition, lyric writing, and dance, to add musical theatre numbers to their final play. There will be daily outside time, to get some sun in our eyes and find inspiration in nature. Students will also learn about sight-specific theatre during these times, creating theatre in unconventional environments. These camps are for experienced and beginners alike, as there is always something new and exciting to learn with every new group of students! Instructors will tailor the level of instruction to each student's individual needs, giving more complex exercises to those with prior acting experience. At the end of the final day, family and friends are invited to attend a showcase performance, where students will have the opportunity to show off what they've learned and perform in their own original play in front of a supportive audience.
