2011 Arts Camps Sneak Peek!

We’ve been hard at work with our program directors this past month, designing a truly fantastic line-up of programs for you for the coming summer! For a sneak look at some of those programs,read on…

Centauri Arts Camp ProgramsFor Writers…
Gillian’s returning in the third session for an omega program focussing on Poetry and Prose, and for alphas we’re offering a terrific program in the first session exploring how we can use our life experiences for fact and fiction! For the first time ever there will be a Journalism program in the second session and, for alphas, a focus on writing comics in the fourth session. Oh – and both alphas and omegas will have a shot at Play-writing & Performance this coming summer!

For Artists and Photographers…
Aaron’s back all summer, and his programs include mixed media explorations, digital photography and more! There will also be an exciting ‘art & design’ program in the first session. We’re offering Comic Book Creation again, and we’ve added an animation component to the program.

For Acting Campers…
So many options!!! Long Form Improv, Clown, an advanced Theatre Styles program with Mladen, Acting for Film (with Valerie again!), Directing programs, Acting for Screen & Stage, and more!

For Dancers, Singers and Musicians…
There will be TWO music programs this coming summer, one run by Violet and one by J-M! We have musical theatre programs for alphas and omegas… and the alpha program gives you a chance to create your own musical! Veronica is adding contemporary dance and a new program: Let’s Dance POP! Finally, we have TWO singing programs. The new one is called The Centauri Glee Club!

For Film Makers…
Sofia is offering a focus on Japanese cinema and Matt’s running a movie-maker’s trip around the world for alphas, and a Real World Guide to Film-Making for omegas. We also have a film program inspired by Dreams, and Film Styles is back again by popular demand!

For Stage Combat lovers…
Between Ian and Hunter, we have combat on camp all summer long! From Viking invasions to Celtic cattle raids, Piracy to Peter Pan there is something for everyone… alphas and omegas, broadsword and rapier, found weapons and combat basics.

If you’re aged 11, 12 or 13 next summer, you’ll also be pleased to hear we’re offering several programs in the 11-16 or 12-18 age range, so you will have more choice than ever before!

Julie’s Drama and Theatre Workshops for Schools

One thing I love about Winter and Spring is doing school visits, to talk abut Centauri and to offer drama workshops.  I get to teach (which I LOVE), kids get some drama, and we all have a chance to chat about camp! Yesterday, I did three guest workshops in a private school near Fort Erie. It was a gorgeous school, and we had three fantastic groups. The first was a hugely energetic grade 5-6 mix, and we explored storytelling techniques together. The second was a self-conscious Grade 8 group, and we explored Stanislavsky, and character development. Lastly, we had a Grade 7 group, and since they were super-dramatic without any coaxing, we did some crazy melodrama stuff!

I’m running workshops at several other schools over the next few weeks, but I still have space. If you’d like me to offer a free workshop at your school, let me know and I can email you info for your drama teacher! I’m also a keynote speaker, and I have a brand new talk about entrepreneurism available for high school students. It’s all about what we learned when we set up Centauri.
