CURRICULUM AND INFORMATION
Thank you for your interest in the Glendale Centre Theatre's Summer Acting Camp for children and teens. In this program, your children
are taught a variety of different skills in a safe and caring environment. The program runs five days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
for three weeks and is offered three times a summer. Students spend the day at the theatre and are involved in a wide range of classes
specifically designed to stimulate their creativity and imagination. A summary of each of the classes is listed below . Note that some
classes may vary slightly by session contingent upon teaching staf f.
ACTING: Students will be exposed to various acting warm ups and exercises connecting movement and sound. They will also learn
how to read a script, mark stage directions, memorize lines, audition and conquer stage fright! Actors will develop a strong u nderstanding
of character development, acting techniques and monologues, as well as theatre etiquette. This class is all about being an actor .
SINGING: At the beginning of each class, the students will warm up their voices and practice listening to each other as they work on
harmony and blending. They will also learn how to perform a song, not just sing it.
DANCING: One of the most essential parts of being an actor is to know how to move and how to interact with others on stage. This
class teaches basic movements with music and by the end of the session, each group performs a choreographed Broadway style danc e
number on our stage!
IMPROVISATION: In this class your child will be exposed to various exercises and games that help them act and react to what is
happening in that exact moment. By working with others in the class they are able to create and expand their imagination in a fun and,
at times, hysterical environment!
IN THE WINGS: Masks, costumes, props, script writing and more! A fun journey into the “behind the scenes” aspects of theatre.
SHAKESPEARE & STAGE COMBAT: Students will be drawn into Shakespeare's world through an interactive, exciting approach to the
Bard's life, times and works. The students will have the opportunity to actually become Shakespeare's most memorable characters, as
they are guided through his greatest plays. In addition, they will be introduced to the basics of stage combat in a safe, fun environment.
FINAL PRODUCTION: At the end of the session, the students participate in a show on our mainstage with full lights, sounds, and small
set pieces. The final show is comprised of a series of scenes, dances, and songs where each student participates in one dance number,
one singing number, and one scene. The show will NOT run longer than two hours (there is no intermission). Show dates are list ed
below. WE STRESS THAT MISSING REHEARSALS WILL GREATLY IMPACT YOUR CHILD'S PERFORMANCE IN THE FINAL SHOW.
We do not provide costumes for the final show - instead, all of the students dress in a camp t-shirt handed out to them the day of the
show and their own jeans or jean shorts. All sets, lights, sound, and music are provided.
