BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: For one week we will dive into the art of storytelling through Devised Theater. This is a collaborative style of theater that uses each ensemble member’s unique skills and interests to create a one-of-a-kind performance experience. Participate in hands-on workshops in character creation, playwriting, movement, and more. Bring stories and topics that are important and interesting to you to inspire the theme of our collaborative project that will be performed outside at the end of the week!
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Dance, Theater, Musical Theater, Music/Band, Fine Arts/Crafts, Video/Filmmaking/Photography, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: We will be working/staying in a few buildings in the west part of Iowa State's campus, and will be performing on the Parks Library Lawn.
CAMP FACILITIES: We will be using Iowa State University's facilities, including dorms, recreation centers, theatre classrooms, and dining centers.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: This camp will feature daily workshops throughout the week, led by Iowa State University students and alumni, and will culminate to a student-derived showcase performed on the Iowa State library lawn. We hope to teach that theatre can be done anywhere and with any resources, and hope to help campers become confident leaders within their own theater communities.
Immersed in Iowa State University’s campus, you will be staying within walking distance of the black-box theater and design lab workshop spaces. Come join us for a week of collaboration, creation, and exploration through the performing arts!
