All the World’s a Stage at Long Bay Camp

Dive into the wonderful world of theatre and drama! Long Bay Camp’s drama program is open to campers with all levels of experience. Our professional and enthusiastic instructors teach campers acting and improvisation techniques. Rehearsals and performances are held in our unique, rustic barn which houses our stage and studio space.

Drama – Cautionary Tales!

Instructor: Emily Pearlman
Dates Available: Session A - July 8 – July 14 2012

Bring your irreverent sense of humor and gothic malaise as we transform the Victorian versus of Cautionary Tales for Children into a stylish and moody homage to all things Tim Burton and Edgar Allan Poe. From Jim – who ran away from his Nurse and was eaten by a Lion, to Franklin – who caroused in the dirt and was corrected by his Uncle, this final performance will introduce you to unforgettable characters whose lessons will not be quickly forgotten!

Drama – To Be Announced

Dates Available: Session B – July 15- July 21, 2012

Young actors will be immersed in the traditional structure of Shakespeare’s most famous works. Campers will be introduced to physical and vocal warm-ups that will assist with this style of acting. Focus will be on the Elizabethan styles of iambic pentameter, metre and rhythm, imagery and character development. At the end of the week campers will shake things up by playing Shakespeare their own way, adapting a classical scene into their own language!

A classic story will be turned upside-down, as we bring them to the stage in original musical form. Campers will take their favorite musical melodies and make them part of a whole new theatre piece by creating the new characters who sing them, and the words that will go along. With a focus on parody and clowning, this new piece is sure to delight as it is presented for friends and family at the end of camp.

Bring all your ideas and prepare to create characters that are larger than life and full of adventure and fun! Our week will end in a presentation of our creation for family and friends. Join up fast and lets start dreaming up our characters and scenarios now.

Drama – Grandma Grimm’s Fairy Tales Gone Wrong!

Do you think you know the real version of Little Red Riding Hood? What about the Three Little Pigs? Sorry, but Grandma Grimm knows better. She’ll tell you the horrifying, hilarious and outrageous TRUE stories of the characters you thought you knew. During this workshop, we will be coming up with our own stories to put together for a final production at the end of the week. For campers of all ages, we will use your creativity to write our own versions of the well-known fairy tales. Please come with enthusiasm and originality to make this show your own!
