Camp Shakespeare
You Too Can Perform
On Stage at the Shakespeare Theatre Company!
During this two-week day camp, young people ages 9-18 investigate
the artistry and process of classic theatre in performance under the
guidance of Shakespeare Theatre Company Teaching Artists. Students
analyze and interpret Shakespeare’s text, learn the tools to
create characters utilizing their bodies, voices and imaginations,
and explore the art of stage combat. All classes are taught by classically
trained teaching artists. Camp will culminate with a performance for
friends and family.
A typical day at Camp Shakespeare includes:
- Acting
- Movement
- Stage Combat
- Text Analysis
- Theatre Games
- Rehearsal
Age Groups:
- Groundlings (ages 9-11)
- Young Performers (ages 12- 14)
- Teen Ensemble (ages 15 - 18)
Classes are held Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. To conclude each
session, the Groundlings will present scenes from Shakespeare’s
works that share a common theme, while the Young Performers and Teen
Ensemble will each present a different Shakespeare play. This makes
it possible for both first-time and continuing students to participate
in more than one session per summer.
