Resources for Drama and Acting Teachers

Drama, Acting, Directing.

Welcome to the Drama Teacher's Resource Page at Centauri Summer Arts Camp! We've had more than 17 years of experience running theatre programs for youth. Since many of our outstanding arts campers first hear about Centauri from their drama teachers, we have produced this resource page as a means of directly 'giving back' to the professionals who have helped make our arts programs what they are today. Many of the ideas you will find on this page come directly from the theatre professionals who have worked at Centauri over the years. Others have been compiled by one of our directors, Julie Hartley, who has taught drama and theatre studies at the high school, college and university level for the past two decades, and has offered drama workshops for teachers through the Shaw Festival, CODE conferences and Creative Education, UK.
