Indiana Homeschool Arts

Bloomington
Bloomington Playwrights Project 2010 Education Camps
June 28, 2010 - August 8, 2010
DramatiCATS Camp dates: June 28- July 9, 2010 Performances: July 9 - 10, 2010 The BPP is calling all cool cats to be a part of the coolest camp for kids ages 8 - 12. Campers will write and perform in plays developed during the full day camp. But there's a catch - every play must incorporate the same theme, a common line of dialogue and a common prop...but no one will know what the theme, line, and prop are until the moment they are to write. Camper's imaginations are challenged constantly while they create one of a kind new theatre. Youth Musical Theatre Camp dates: July 12- August 5, 2010 Performances: August 5 - 8, 2010 Stage Director: Pam Magnan, Musical Director: Eric Anderson Participants in YMT experience the whole process of a real summer stock production from audition to the final bow. Students learn physical and vocal exercises, choral singing, choreography, and scene blocking. The staff of YMT is committed to developing each participant's musical theatre skills and concepts. Emphasis is on each person's intellectual, social, physical, creative and artistic growth. Past productions include shows in the popular Broadway Jr. series: Fiddler on the Roof, Once on This Island, Bugsy Malone, Into the Woods, Disney's Aladdin, Seussical, Willy Wonka, and Guys and Dolls. YMT has even performed Peter Pan. Cast members receive a speaking, singing and dance part and every cast member contributes to the success of the production. This full day camp fills up quickly so be sure to sign up once registration opens October 1, 2009.
