Under the guidance of industry professionals, campers will learn how to hone their individual voices to be catalysts for change through the performance arts. They will also learn about the business of performance. By the end of the camp, they will have a professional headshot they can use to submit to agencies. The final performance will be a showcase of Spoken Word, Monologues, Improvisation, and Devised Work.
