SUMMER THEATER CAMP @ IRONDALE, July 1 - August 2

SUMMER THEATER CAMP @ IRONDALE

July 1 - August 2

Irondale is excited to announce its 2013 Summer Theater Camp! Camp will be a collection of one-day workshops and two-week sessions will keep students' minds engaged and their bodies moving by providing a nurturing, safe, and dynamic artistic environment.  Lead by professional Irondale Artists, young actors can choose between classes that explore acting and improvisation, movement and dance, character creation, storytelling, playwriting, and even stage design.  We encourage students to explore the power of creativity and develop an artistic voice.  The work will be rooted in the Irondale tradition of theatre games and improvisation and will be created in the spirit of diversity and community building. All sessions conclude with a performance for family and friends.

JUNIOR COMPANY INTENSIVE (Ages 11 – 15)

July 22 – August 2, 2013

Growing from the success of our school-year youth classes and the amazing Irondale Young Company (a ensemble of teenagers), Junior Company members will have the opportunity to learn the same ensemble approach our adult and teen companies experience year round.  Working towards their final scripted performance students will learn what it takes to create and stage an Off-Broadway play.  From acting, improv, and scene study to house management, playwriting and design, Junior Company members will work as an ensemble to produce their play.
