YOUTH THEATRE CAMP DAY 3

Another great day at theatre camp 2010! The budding thespians began working on stage and tomorrow will continue to strengthen their “stage voices”, and more blocking will be started. That is a long process but will teach the kids to work on improving their memorization skills and build a polished show eventually.

Thursdays agenda includes ” Honey, do you love me?” a exercise in keeping in character, more audience readings to work on volume, enunciation and pacing.

While small groups of each scene rehearse on stage and in quiet corners with our teen helpers, some campers will begin working on some of the many scene signs that need to be made and some costume basics are going to be started.

Campers were sent home with a small stack of handout flyers for interested relatives and friends to encourage attendance at next week shows, help pass the word, more flyers are available when needed, or copy some on your home printer!

YOUTH CAMP 2010

We are 2 days into our first ever FCT Summer Youth Theatre Camp. This year 19 children between the ages of 6-12 will audition, rehearse and perfect over a 10 day session, then perform for the general public, AESOP’S FABLES. Particapants will learn many stage techniques and gain valueable stage exposure as FCT continues to look ahead to the future and train the next generation of who will guide FCT to another successful 55 plus years of providing the best in live entertainment in the area, while providing a great outlet for the creative and talented youths, teens and adults of the entire region.

Day 1 gave all campers a chance to get to know each other better, while staff members, Scott, Hilary , Bridget and Cheryl read the show for them for the first time. Then it was on to the stage and the audition process began with the hopes that they would get one of the 3 roles thay had picked out they liked the best.

The day ended with some theatre games aimed at increasing facial expressions and speaking volume, it was fun!

Day 2, parts were announced and the rehearsal process began with small groups of cast members finding quiet corners of the theatre to read their parts with others, with help today from Kendra and Josh too.

After the daily snack, A fun game of elepahnts, elvis and angels ended the day before everyone headed home to start memorizing the show!
