Rising Stars
Our intermediate program is
for students entering grades 4, 5, or 6 in the 2010 - 2011 school year. It offers a variety of activities in the
performing arts. Students will
participate in daily dance, acting, and voice classes, develop improvisation
skills in daily warm-ups, and begin to learn about the business of theatre.
Our Rising Stars program is a great way to envelop students in all types
of theatre activities – from auditions and character development, to dance and music – all to inspire a better understanding and appreciation for the
craft, while developing natural ability.

What do we do each day?
Daily Schedule (
We begin each day with
physical and vocal warm-ups, improvisation, and a whole camp morning meeting.
Our mornings are busy with
acting, improvisation, dance, and music lessons. The
four age groups rotate through these sessions every 45 minutes.
Emphasis is on training actors & developing skills.
We are interested in helping the students to grow and learn more about
themselves. Classes include
warm-ups, drills & skills, practice in multiple genres, and development of
performance pieces.
After a break for lunch
& fellowship, actors are encouraged to use this time for personal study and
reflection. It is a time for
“homework” – learning lines, developing a character, practicing scenes,
songs, and dances.
This time for self-discovery is crucial in the actor’s development.
Our afternoons are filled
with activity. During the first part
of each session, professionals working in theatre may visit with students and
present a class in a specialized field: African
Dance, tap, ballet, or modern dance; mime, improvisation, make-up, or puppetry;
design, lighting, props, or stage management.
Students will be exposed to a variety of jobs in the theatre.
As we get closer to our
performance dates, afternoons will be spent rehearsing our performance pieces,
designing sets & costumes, and preparing for our summer showcase!
To gain closure each day,
students will gather in an informal meeting to chat about the day’s events.
It is a time for reflection on the day – expressing thoughts &
ideas about the learning, and planning where to go next.
Sharing ideas with one another improves communication and extends
learning. It is a calm, reflective,
and meaningful way to end the day.
All classes are held at the
