Fairytale Theater Camp
Grades: 1 - 3
Dates: Spring Break, March 10-14
Meeting Times: Monday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm
Location: Art 317, UAF Campus

Description: Campers will learn the skills needed to be compelling performers and storytellers and gain confidence speaking in front of a crowd. We will explore all aspects of theater, including acting, set design, and costume design. Campers will learn valuable teamwork, communication, and public speaking skills that can help them in all parts of their lives, as well as theater-specific knowledge like warm-ups, terminology, and the best practices followed today by professional actors and thespians. Campers will perform fairytale-based stories they wrote and designed themselves for their families at the end of the week.
