This session is designed to teach and inspire
aspiring dancers and musicians in their creative
abilities. Throughout each days students will
explore different styles of dance, including tap

both choreagraphy and improvisation. As
musicians, they will experiment with their
voices and with a variety of instruments (from
the piano to the djembe), in addition to
learning the potential of their own bodies to be
instruments. This session will culminate in a
short performance on the afternoon of Friday,
July 22nd.
Drama & Musical Theatre, Ages 6-9
July 25th-August 5th: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
This session explores many sides of theatre,
including improvisation comedy, miming, stage &
costume design, and musical theatre, hoping to
provide a less traditional approach to acting.
Students will learn to warm up both their bodies
and creative minds though improvisational games.
They will also explore the more technical
aspects of theatre by designing the stage and
costume design for the performance on the last
day, Friday, August 5th. This session is
appropriate for students with some or no theatre
experience. Mature 8-9 year-olds with experience
are encouraged to consider the 9-12 year-old
session.
Drama & Musical Theatre, Ages 9-12
July 25th-August 5th: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
This session will parallel the session of the
younger drama students described above, while
placing more emphasis on advanced
improvisational theatre exercises and stage
production work. Students will gain experience
with direction and production by running the
final performance on Friday, August 5th. This
session is appropriate for students with some or
