Going with the Flow and Teamwork
As an actor you are constantly in motion…. whether it’s taking direction, moving to a specific spot on stage, saying your lines, or singing. We are so proud of our camper’s ability to flow with this summer. Teamwork has been essential and the bond each group has made is the cornerstone of their ability to rise and work together!
Here’s the Inside Scoop
The third week of camp is a complete “get grounded” week! Our campers worked on growing their characters while memorizing their lines, blocking, and overall direction. To complete their hard work, tons of fun was enjoyed through our Camper/Counselor Day, Pajama Day, Counselor and Camper talent show, and let’s not forget the tie dye extravaganza we had.
Specialty Activities
- Improv, Improv and more improv!
- Worked on our talent show group performances.
- Practiced our original songs from our song writing workshop and writers group began to create a video!
- Practiced our choreography.
Rehearsals
Blocking, blocking, blocking. In preparation for next week’s performance, this is when the campers are off-book and they can really begin flowing through the show. All three shows are staged and blocking is complete! We began our stumble through for each of the final performances. We worked on building confidence and connecting with others. We discussed…. “what you see (the actor) is what we see” ahh… imagination!
Conversation Starter
Ask your children about our compliment wall, and if they have given anyone a compliment. Which counselor’s performance did they enjoy the most during our Counselor Talent Show Contest? Ask them about Camper Counselor Day. Ask them about our mindful moments. And ask them to wear their tie dyed t-shirts on Monday.
