Summer Kids@the Alley Final Two Sessions Offered
Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Theatre Arts Enhancement Camp
There are just two sessions left of Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Summer Kids@the Alley. The theatre is located at 11 S. 6th Avenue in downtown Tucson. The summer sessions, for students ages 9-17, are each two weeks long, Monday-Friday. The next session begins on July 12 and the last on July 26. Please consult our website at www.beowulfalley.org for fees and further information or call (520) 882-0555. The program design is based on the following mission:
“Creating a performance-based learning experience that will provide our participants with a fun, expressive outlet; develop valuable skills through collaboration and creative interaction; foster awareness and sensitivity; and instill an appreciation and love of the art of Theatre.”
The program explores the following:
Creative Movement and Improvisation
Can you tell a story without saying a single word? Learn physical expression, economy of movement and how to improvise on your feet!
Voice and Character
Learn techniques for breathing, enunciation, and projection. Then, build your actor’s toolkit and prepare a scene for public performance!
Telling the Story: Create a Play From Scratch
It’s a blast! Learn how plays are constructed, then participate as part of a team to write your own ten-minute play!
Planning, Preparation, and Performance
Who does what in the theatre? How does a script turn into a performance? Learn how smart planning turns into top-notch performance in front of family and friends on the last day of the session, which Includes time for parents to shoot photos after the performance!
