​​WHAT IS SPARK?!

​Do you like to create?
Do you want to learn more about performing, building, or expressing yourself through art?
Do you want to spend a week of your summer making new friends and having a completely unique experience that will make an impact?
 
Then Spark! is for you!
 
Spark! is a one week day-camp that unleashes your creative potential through the arts! It is a collective creation camp where we create an original performance film together!
 
Here’s how it works!
You register for a specific subject: Performance or Technical Theatre/Design. We delve deep into that discipline, exploring, learning, and creating, all while having a ton of fun. By the end of the week, we will film a performance for our families, friends, and community members, created entirely by you! We will host a screening of the film in early September.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
Express yourself through performance! Through fun-filled games and exercises, theatre performance students will become more connected to their bodies, learn the techniques of performance, and explore how to translate play into storytelling and theatre.
 
Performance students will create an original play! Students will learn the fundamentals of collective creation and story creation. We will create a concept, characters, and a setting, and then write, rehearse, and perform our very own collective creation production! Learn the skills it takes to create theatre!
 
Instructor: TBA
 
TECHNICAL THEATRE/DESIGN
 
Build, light, and create with technical theatre! Technical Theatre and Design students will design and create the world in which the play, written by the performance students, will take place. They will learn about construction, set design, costumes, lighting, sound, and the logistics and technicalities of putting on a performance.
 
They will use these skills to transform the community hall into a fully functional theatre space, complete with professional theatre lighting and sound equipment! Create the world of the play!
