BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Elm Shakespeare invites children ages 7-12 to jump into Shakespeare's magical world at the Elm Shakespeare Players Camp. Students spend two weeks immersed in an imaginative, supportive, and fun environment taking interactive classes in acting, clowning, stage combat, voice, movement, and theatrical design – all while rehearsing a 30-minute version of one of Shakespeare's plays. Campers become their own Renaissance Theatre Troupe, creating costumes, props, and backdrops to create a kid-driven final performance for friends and family on the last day of camp.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Fine Arts/Crafts, Theater, Technology, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: Both sessions are at Lyman Center for the Performing Arts
Southern Connecticut State University - 501 Crescent Ave, New Haven, CT 06515
