Summer Camps: Make a Play in a Week! 9 - 20 Jul 2018
Using drama games, improvisational play, music and movement, you will work with the group to create fun ideas around which the play will be based. You will also explore the world of theatre production, learning about all of the elements that go into creating a show including technical aspects such as lighting, sound and set, to marketing, box office and poster design.
The week will culminate in a short performance combining everything learned over the week for your family and friends.
