Week 2 of Summer Arts Play Theatre Camp has flown by. We can't believe the final performance is less than a week away! Students have been working hard and having fun: they learned how to use their bodies to make "tableaus" or frozen pictures that tell a story. In this case, that means being trees in a forest. They spent time making scenery for our show, plus relaxing in a "chill" party and performing in our camp talent show. We are so proud of them and can't wait to see them onstage next week!

We had an amazing first week of Summer Arts Play Theatre Camp! Not only did we learn so much of our show, but also we had special classes with Guest Artist Hillary Ekwall, who taught us choreography based on the Broadway version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." She also led us in a class about different ways we can spin our bodies to show spinning onstage. Perfect for our show Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark Kids, when we tell the story of the tree house that begins to spin...
Additionally, Friday at camp was "Summer-ween!" We all wore costumes and created tableaus, or frozen pictures that tell stories, all about the characters that we were dressed as.
